Two state agencies, several filings, and a clear timeline. Here’s exactly what happens from your free assessment to a Certificate of Account Status in hand — typically 2–4 weeks end to end.
We look up your entity on the Comptroller’s system, identify all delinquent reports, estimate any penalties and interest, and give you a flat-fee quote. No hourly billing, no surprises.
Every outstanding franchise tax report and Public Information Report is prepared. Most forfeited entities owe No Tax Due reports — required for each missing year regardless of revenue.
Reports are submitted to the Texas Comptroller. The Tax Clearance Letter (Form 05-377) is requested once they process. Comptroller processing typically takes 5–10 business days.
The reinstatement application and the $75 SOS filing fee are submitted to the Texas Secretary of State using the Tax Clearance Letter. Your entity is fully reinstated upon approval.
Your Good Standing certificate is obtained and delivered — ready for your bank, title company, or lender.
Typically 2–4 weeks end-to-end, depending on how quickly the Comptroller and Secretary of State process the filings.
All missing years since your last filed report. We identify the full list during your free assessment.
Most small businesses are under the $2.65M No Tax Due threshold and owe no franchise tax — just the missing reports. We confirm this in your free consultation.
