Governor Greg Abbott and Secretary of Jane Nelson announced that Texas has exceeded 3 million registered businesses, which is a record high mark.
In 2015, the number of business entities registered was 1.4 million. The number of registered entities has doubled to over 3 million.
The total includes both businesses incorporated in Texas and out-of-state entities conducting business in the Lone Star State. The largest classification is in-state, limited liability companies (LLCs).
The Office of the Secretary of State continues to modernize many services and is enhancing online resources. In September, the Secretary’s office launched Texas Express, which offers same-day and next-day services for many business services.
