💰 The $2.47 Million Franchise Tax Exemption
Texas imposes a state franchise tax on entities doing business in the state, but offers a substantial "No Tax Due" threshold: businesses with total annualized gross revenue under $2.47 million pay $0 in state franchise tax.

Frequently Asked Questions About Texas LLC Formation
When should an international seller pick Texas over Wyoming?
Choose Texas if you plan to operate physical fulfillment facilities, hire US employees, or partner directly with Texas-based wholesalers and distributors. If your business is 100% online, dropshipping, or standard Amazon FBA with no physical Texas ties, Wyoming or New Mexico remains more cost-effective.
What is the annual reporting deadline for a Texas LLC?
The Texas Franchise Tax and Public Information Report (PIR) are due annually on May 15th. Even if your revenue is $0 or well under the $2.47M threshold, you must submit the No Tax Due Report to prevent forfeiture of your corporate charter.
Does Texas require an in-state registered agent?
Yes. Texas law requires every registered entity to appoint a registered agent with a physical street address in Texas open during standard business hours. RGB LOGIX provides commercial registered agent representation in Texas for all international client entities.
Strategic Logistics and Cross-Border Trade Advantages of Texas LLCs
Texas represents the central logistics axis for North American commerce. By establishing an LLC in Texas, international e-commerce merchants and wholesale importers establish direct jurisdictional presence near prime distribution hubs like the AllianceTexas global logistics hub, Port Houston, and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport cargo corridor.
