A Texas LLC costs $597 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in 2026: a $297 service fee plus the $300 state filing fee. Ongoing cost is the $100/year registered agent renewal, since the annual Public Information Report carries no fee and franchise tax stays at 0% under $2.47M in revenue. Texas charges no state personal income tax. Founders who need ownership privacy compare a $397 Wyoming LLC plus a Texas foreign qualification.
The Texas Secretary of State charges $300 to file the Certificate of Formation, paid once at formation. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. Texas is one of the more expensive states at the filing stage: the $300 fee is well above Wyoming's $100 and New Mexico's $50. It buys registration of the LLC and its liability shield in Texas, but nothing more, so the name check, operating agreement, EIN, and banking still need to be handled. Anonymousllc.co bundles the $300 state fee into its service for a single $597 total.
Anonymousllc.co forms a Texas LLC for $597 total all-in: a $297 service fee plus the $300 state fee. That price covers the state filing, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no upsells hidden behind that number. Add-on services are priced separately and quoted upfront: EIN $99, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 when it applies. The package completes in 5-10 business days. Founders whose priority is ownership privacy weigh this Texas total against a $397 Wyoming anonymous LLC plus a Texas foreign qualification for local operations.
The only recurring cash cost of a Texas LLC is the $100/year registered agent renewal from year two onward. The annual Public Information Report carries no filing fee, and franchise tax stays at 0% for LLCs under $2.47M in annualized revenue. Texas charges no state personal income tax, so profit passes through to owners without a state-level income levy. An LLC that crosses the $2.47M revenue threshold owes franchise tax at the applicable margin rate, but the vast majority of small LLCs stay under it and pay nothing. Ongoing Texas maintenance therefore runs about $100/year in most cases.
Texas levies a franchise tax, but the rate is 0% for LLCs with annualized revenue under $2.47M, so most small LLCs owe nothing. This is a no-tax-due threshold, not an exemption from filing. Every Texas LLC still files the annual Public Information Report regardless of revenue, at no filing fee. The franchise tax is a margin tax, not a Delaware-style flat franchise tax, and it applies only once revenue clears the threshold. An LLC under $2.47M in revenue files the report, reports zero tax due, and pays no franchise tax that year.
The cheapest cash option is filing direct with the Secretary of State for the $300 state fee alone, without a service fee. Most owners find that DIY costs more in time and missed steps than the $297 service fee would have cost in money. Filing direct still leaves the name check, operating agreement, EIN application, and bank setup to the founder. Anonymousllc.co's $597 total handles all of it in 5-10 business days, including registered agent for year one. For total 2026 cost across states, New Mexico is the cheapest at $347 with no annual report, Wyoming is second at $397 with owner privacy, and Texas runs $597 year one.
Yes. A Wyoming LLC totals $397 all-in versus $597 for Texas, and Wyoming keeps owners off the public record while Texas does not. New Mexico is cheaper still at $347 with no annual report and no annual fee. Texas operators who want both a local presence and privacy form in Wyoming and foreign-qualify into Texas, so the anonymous parent stays off the record and the Texas registration lists the LLC. Delaware runs $407 with a $300 flat annual franchise tax due June 1, and Nevada is $722 with an annual list and state business license near $350/year. Texas's higher $300 state fee is the main driver of its $597 first-year total.
The $597 total covers formation, but EIN is $99, ITIN $299, and BOI filing $150 when it applies. Registered agent renews at $100/year after the included first year. Anonymousllc.co quotes these add-ons upfront, with no surprise publication or license fees. Texas has no publication requirement, unlike New York or Arizona, so there is no newspaper-notice cost to plan for. Reinstatement of an administratively forfeited Texas LLC runs $250 plus state fees when needed. A custom operating agreement beyond the included template is available as a separate service.
Reinstating a forfeited Texas LLC costs $250 plus state fees through Anonymousllc.co, on top of the back franchise tax reports, penalties, and interest owed to the state. Forfeiture follows missed annual filings. The cash total depends on how many years lapsed, since each missed year adds its own report, penalty, and interest. The Comptroller requires a tax clearance before the Secretary of State approves reinstatement, so all delinquent franchise tax and Public Information Reports must be filed first. Keeping the $100/year registered agent and letting Anonymousllc.co track the May 15 deadline avoids the reinstatement cost entirely, which is why staying current is cheaper than recovering.
A privacy structure costs $397 for the Wyoming anonymous LLC plus the Texas foreign qualification state fee to register that LLC in Texas. The Wyoming parent keeps owners off the public record while the entity operates legally in Texas. This two-part cost buys ownership anonymity that a $597 Texas LLC does not provide, because Texas discloses governing persons and Wyoming does not. New Mexico is the cheaper anonymous parent at $347 with no annual report or annual fee. The trade-off is maintaining two registrations: the Wyoming annual report at a $60 minimum plus the Texas franchise and Public Information Report, which stays at 0% franchise tax under $2.47M in revenue.
A non-US resident pays the same $597 all-in for a Texas LLC through Anonymousllc.co, with no residency surcharge. The EIN is obtained by fax at no extra charge as part of the formation package. Non-residents add a US tax filing each year: a foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120, which a US tax preparer handles for a separate fee. An ITIN, at $299, is needed only when the owner has a personal US tax filing obligation. The formation itself, registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and banking are all included in the $597 total.
