Short, plain-English terms for orders and the Annual Compliance plan.
Effective November 10, 2026. These terms apply when you order a service from Texas Franchise Compliance (“we,” “us”) at texasfranchisecompliance.com.
Texas Franchise Compliance is not a CPA firm. We manage the process and your client experience. All professional tax preparation and filing services are performed by a Texas-licensed CPA firm.
By ordering, you confirm you’re an owner, officer or other person authorized to act for the entity, and you authorize us and the CPA firm to prepare and file its Texas franchise tax reports, Public Information or Ownership Information Reports, tax clearance requests and Secretary of State reinstatement filings. You agree to give accurate, complete information and to respond to reasonable requests for documents.
Our fees are flat and quoted upfront. They don’t include franchise tax, penalties or interest owed to the State of Texas. The $75 Texas Secretary of State reinstatement fee is the state’s fee, passed through at cost; if it turns out not to apply to your entity, we refund it. If your entity needs more work than the tier you chose (for example, more years behind or an EZ or long-form computation), we’ll tell you before doing it and you can pay the difference or get a full refund.
Full refund if we haven’t filed yet. No refund once filed. If you cancel before we’ve submitted any filing for your entity to the Texas Comptroller or Secretary of State, we refund your payment in full. Once a filing has been submitted, the fee for that order isn’t refundable. To cancel, email start@texasfranchisecompliance.com.
The plan is billed when you sign up and renews automatically every month or year, depending on the option you choose, until you cancel. There’s no minimum term. You can cancel anytime, or update your payment method, in the subscription portal; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds follow section 4: if that period’s annual report hasn’t been filed yet, you can ask for a refund of the current period’s charge.
Reinstatement typically takes 2–4 weeks, but processing times at the Comptroller and Secretary of State are outside our control and aren’t guaranteed.
Payments are processed by Stripe by card or US bank account (ACH). We don’t see or store your full card or bank account numbers. Bank payments can take several business days to clear, and work starts once payment clears.
This website provides general information only and doesn’t constitute legal or tax advice. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any order is limited to the fees you paid for that order.
These terms are governed by Texas law. Questions: start@texasfranchisecompliance.com.
