Notes

  • Texas is a filing state where active franchisors with a compliant FDD qualify for an exemption from full registration.
  • The filing is a one-time filing for which we will provide an application for your completion.
  • The filing fee may be paid via check or with credit card. Checks should be made payable to “Texas Secretary of State”.  For credit card payments, you will be required to complete and submit a credit card authorization form to us before we will submit the filing for you.
  • Texas does not require the submission of the FDD and filings are typically effective within a month. Renewals and amendments are not required.
