In January, the Secretary of State’s office reported that the number of Texas business entities filed with the state had almost doubled in the last ten years, going from 1.47 million to 2.93 million.
Secretary Nelson announced on February 4, 2025 that Texas has 2,964,180 million active business entities. That is a growth of 35,492 since the beginning of the year.
“Texas continues to be a state where businesses can begin and grow,” said Secretary Nelson. “This increase in the number of active business entities in the state is another indicator of our pro-business environment and reflects an optimism about doing business in Texas.”
The total number includes both businesses incorporated in Texas and out-of-state entities conducting business in the Lone Star State. Out of these groups, the largest classification is in-state, limited liability companies at just more than 2 million.
