What a client sees, and what we see while doing the work. Every screen below is the product as designed — seeded with invented companies so the whole journey can be walked before any of it is built.
Most visitors do not have a company yet. For them the registered agent is not a product they came looking for — it is a requirement of the certificate they are about to sign. The funnel is built that way round.
What forming a Texas company involves, what it costs, and the registered agent requirement people miss until the form asks.
Name check, agent and office, who runs it, pay, sign as organizer. Six screens. The agent is offered where the requirement bites.
Formation tracker, companies, mail with service of process pinned, documents, compliance calendar, billing.
The parts a client never sees, and the reason the service costs more than a mail drop.
When a state portal shows the robot a page it does not recognise, it stops and a person decides. With the screenshot and the diff.
A summons logged at the front desk on a phone, timed against the same-day commitment, with the chain of custody that defends us.
Balances, credential rotation, and the monthly reconciliation of state charges against the statement.
The four office addresses, the state's fees and the statutory rules on these screens are real. What is still a placeholder:
The state's numbers are not placeholders. The
$300 formation fee, the $15 agent
change, the 2.7% card fee and the rules quoted on these screens — that a
company cannot be its own agent, that the office cannot be a mailbox, that
naming an agent affirms their consent — are all computed or quoted from
app/texas/rules.py, each carrying the source URL it was checked
against and the date.
