Texas LLC Annual Report (Franchise Tax) 2026 (2026)
Texas LLCs must file a Franchise Tax Report by May 15 each year. Most small businesses file a No Tax Due Report — and owe nothing.
Texas Franchise Tax Report
Every Texas LLC must file an annual Franchise Tax Report with the Texas Comptroller’s office by May 15 each year. LLCs with total revenue under $2.47 million (2026 threshold) file a No Tax Due Report and pay $0.
Filing the No Tax Due Report
The No Tax Due Report can be filed online through the Texas Comptroller’s WebFile system. It takes about 10 minutes and is free to file. Corp Nation can file this on your behalf each year.
If You Owe Franchise Tax
LLCs above the $2.47M threshold pay franchise tax at the standard rate of 0.75% of taxable margin (or 0.375% for qualifying retail and wholesale businesses). The tax is based on revenue, not profit.
Public Information Report
Along with the franchise tax report, most Texas LLCs must also file a Public Information Report (PIR) listing the names and addresses of all officers, directors, or managers. This is public record.

The Annual Report Is Boring. Getting Dissolved Is Not.
One missed filing can undo everything you built. Here’s how to make sure that never happens.
Nobody starts a business excited about annual reports. You started it because you had an idea, a skill, a product, a vision. The annual report is the government’s way of saying “just checking in — are you still there?” And while the question is annoying, the consequences of not answering are genuinely serious.
In Texas, missing your annual report means late fees. Miss it long enough and your LLC gets administratively dissolved. Dissolved means you no longer have limited liability protection. It means your business technically doesn’t exist. It means that contract you signed, that bank account you opened, that client you’ve been invoicing — all of it is legally murky.
The good news? It’s completely avoidable. Filing the annual report takes about 10 minutes once a year. The bad news? Most people forget, because they’re busy running their actual business.
That’s where Corp Nation comes in.
When you use Corp Nation as your registered agent, we track your Texas annual report deadline and send you reminders before it hits. We can file on your behalf. We make sure the state has your correct registered agent address on file — which is where notices go when something is wrong. If the state sends a warning and it goes to an old address, you’ll never see it until it’s too late.
Our LLC Starter Package includes a full year of registered agent service. That means your first annual report cycle is covered — we’ll be there when the reminder goes out, and we’ll help you stay in good standing year after year.
Think of it this way: you spend real money to form your LLC. You spend time setting up your bank account, building your website, getting your first clients. The annual report is the small recurring cost of keeping all that work protected. Don’t let a $138.75 filing (or whatever your state charges) turn into a reinstatement nightmare that costs ten times more to fix.
We’ve helped thousands of business owners stay compliant without the stress. The annual report doesn’t have to be a thing you worry about. It can just be a thing that gets handled — quietly, on time, every time.
Let Corp Nation be your compliance backbone. Form today and we’ll have your back every year.
