Incentives and Support

Permits, Licensing and Regulations

Texas does not mandate a general business license. However, any entity conducting business in Texas must register with either the Texas Secretary of State or the county clerk’s office. The certificate of formation issued by the Secretary of State, or an assumed name certificate from the county clerk, fulfills the equivalent of a “general business license” required in other states.

For more information on how to register, please visit this site or reach out to the BOSS.
