What this form does
This form is used to register or update an assumed business name record with Dallas County so the public can identify who is operating under the name.

- Leaving the business name, owner names, or addresses incomplete or inconsistent with other records.
- Using the wrong filing type, such as an update when a new registration is needed, or filing in the wrong jurisdiction.
