How To Change Registered Agent IN Texas: verify the record, then decide

The official source for Texas Registered agent records

Every listing on this page is an official government register: coverage is evidenced by the register's own pages, never asserted. Ordering is a printed rule, not a rating: registers with a verified official fee first, then by verified-fact count, then by name.

Reading this page

Verify before anything else. The official search linked in the table shows the current agent of record for any registered Texas entity; that lookup is the authoritative answer, and it is where you confirm a change actually landed after any filing.

Texas splits its register across two offices: formation records and registered agents live with the Secretary of State, whose SOSDirect system charges per search, while the Comptroller's taxable entity search is free, shows franchise tax standing, and offers a public API.

If you are choosing an agent for your own company rather than checking someone else's, the trade-off is the same in Texas as everywhere: serving as your own agent puts your street address on the public record and ties you to business hours, while a commercial service sells coverage and privacy. The referral below is disclosed where it appears, and the register facts on this page do not depend on it.
