Austin's startup ecosystem is large and competitive, but many founders want to establish their Texas LLC with a Dallas-area address — either to maintain a North Texas business footprint, keep a Travis County home address private, or centralize correspondence through a stable DFW mailing address. The components below are proposed and quoted separately; nothing activates until confirmed in writing.
DeSoto Address Review
Austin founders who want a DFW address on their LLC documents can request a DeSoto commercial address. The written quote identifies the exact street address, current authorization status, and applicable handling charges. No address may be listed or used until written service activation is confirmed.
Texas Registered-Agent Review
Texas LLCs formed by Austin founders still require a registered agent with a Texas street address on file with the Secretary of State. A proposed appointment includes written eligibility, a registered-office address, consent documentation, pricing, and an effective date. A mail address alone does not satisfy the registered-agent requirement.
LLC Formation Support
Preparation and submission support for the Texas Certificate of Formation (Form 205) for Austin-based businesses seeking a DeSoto principal-office address. The $300 state filing fee payable to the Texas Secretary of State is not included in any service quote and is due directly at filing.
EIN Application Help
Preparation support for IRS Form SS-4 for Austin-based LLCs, sole proprietors, and freelancers establishing business credit or payroll accounts. The IRS does not charge for EIN issuance. Timing and eligibility are determined solely by the IRS.
Mail Instructions
Scan preferences, forwarding schedules, and any per-item handling fees for Austin founders routing correspondence through a DeSoto address are itemized in the written quote. Instructions take effect only after written activation. Urgent or large-volume mail requests may carry additional charges disclosed before service begins.
Address Eligibility
A DeSoto commercial mail address is not a co-working suite or dedicated workspace in Austin. Third parties — including banks, payment processors, and directories — make their own acceptance decisions independently. This service does not make eligibility determinations on behalf of any third party.
