What this form does
Texas Form 205 is used to create a Texas LLC by filing the company’s core formation details with the Secretary of State. In practice, it establishes the business name, registered agent, management structure, and organizer information so the state can accept the entity for filing.
Keep in mind
- Choosing a business name that is too similar to an existing Texas entity or not compliant with naming rules.
- Listing a registered agent without a valid Texas street address or without the agent’s consent.
- Leaving required formation fields incomplete, such as management structure or organizer details.
