Texas Company Name Application is a business filing system for registering or reserving a company name in the state of Texas. This application enables business owners to register their business name with the Secretary of State and protect their company name from being used by another entity. It also allows them to reserve a company name for up to 120 days so that they can secure the company name while they are preparing the documents required to register the name. The application is available online, and it is divided into two types: the Texas Entity Name Reservation Application and the Texas Entity Name Registration Application. The Texas Entity Name Reservation Application is used for reserving a company name for up to 120 days, while the Texas Entity Name Registration Application is used for registering the company name with the Secretary of State. Both applications require the same set of information such as the company name, the type of entity (LLC, Corporation, etc.), the owner’s information, and the purpose of the company. The fee to reserve a company name is $40, and the fee to register a company name is $25. Once the application is submitted, the Secretary of State reviews the application and approves or denies it. If the application is approved, the company name is reserved or registered and can be used by the business owner.
