Before you can officially register your Limited Liability Company (LLC), Corporation, or other business entity in Texas, you need to ensure your chosen business name is available and, in some cases, reserve it. The Texas Secretary of State (SOS) manages business entity filings and name availability. Understanding the process for name reservation in Texas is crucial for entrepreneurs looking to establish a legal presence in the Lone Star State. While not always mandatory, reserving a name can prevent competitors from using your desired name while you complete your formation paperwork.
