Comments or additional information

I understand that DOT Truck Services (a DBA of Ge Chanfon Services LLC) is a private document preparation service, not a government agency or a law firm, that I can do these filings myself on the official portals, and that the total I see before paying already includes the official fee paid to the government.

Frequently asked questions

What does the state charge?

$300 for the Certificate of Formation. It's charged separately and shown in the summary before you pay.

What is a registered agent?

The person or company with a physical Texas address who receives legal papers for your LLC. It can be you or someone you name; you give us their name and address on the form.

Do I have to pay franchise tax?

Most Texas LLCs have annual obligations with the Comptroller, usually due May 15. Which report you file and whether you owe tax depends on your revenue and the current rules; we review your case.
