How to find the registered agent of a company in Texas?

A business's registered agent in Texas can be identified by perusing through the state's business records. All business registrations are recorded, with the Texas Secretary of State making this database available to the public.

First and foremost, the interested party has to access the Texas Secretary of State's website and go directly to the "SOSDirect" online search tool. It gives the possibility of searching for a business entity by name, filing number, or by the name of the registered agent. Upon entering the given search criteria, the system will pop up with a list of businesses. A specific business will give the name and official address of the registered agent.

You may also request a certified business entity record by mail or in person request through the office of the Secretary of State. There may be an applicable nominal fee for accessing specific records, especially if certified copies are requested.

This is important because the business has to have current records with the state, and the registered agent listed should be current. In Texas, a registered agent's duties include receipt of legal documents, tax notices, and official correspondence on behalf of the business.
