A registered agent is a designated individual or business entity responsible for receiving official legal and government documents on behalf of your e-commerce business. In Texas, the registered agent must have a physical street address (no P.O. boxes) in the state and be available during normal business hours to accept service of process, tax notices, and other important correspondence. For related guidance, see our article on starting a business in Texas. This ensures your business receives critical communications promptly and can respond accordingly.
