Every Texas company must name a registered agent in its certificate of formation —
and your company cannot be its own agent. This is the one part of
forming a business that people get wrong.
Use Inscriptios as your registered agent
A staffed front desk at a real Texas office. Anything served on you is scanned
and sent the same business day, and your own address stays off the public record.

per year
I will name my own registered agent
An individual Texas resident, or a company registered to do business here, who
has agreed to serve. Their street address goes on the public record and someone
has to be there during business hours to accept a lawsuit.

Why it cannot be a mailbox.
The registered office has to be a street address where a process server can hand
someone the papers in person — the statute rules out a mailbox service or an
answering service. Miss a summons and the first you hear of the case can be the
default judgment.
