DBA Information
In Texas, the term “assumed name” is most commonly used to refer to DBA’s. This state requires two filings.
“A domestic or foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or other foreign filing entity that regularly conducts business or renders a professional service in this state under a name other than its legal name must file an assumed name certificate with the secretary of state and with the county clerk in the appropriate county.” (Source: Texas Business & Commerce Code [TBCC] 71.103).
