Same-Day and Next-Day Service Now Offered on Formations
The Texas Secretary of State’s office implemented their new Texas Express expedited service back in October. Three levels of expedited service are offered.
- Same-Day Service ($750 plus the document filing fee) – Filings received by 12p CT will be processed by close of business the same day.
- Next-Day Service ($500 plus the document filing fee) – Filings received by 12p CT will be processed by close of business the next business day.
- Standard Expedited Service ($50 plus the document filing fee) – Filings will be processed before routine submissions and are expected to typically take 2-3 business days.
While standard expedited service is available for all types of filings, the quicker same-day and next-day services are limited to select filing types. Since the launch, that list has expanded to include Certificates of Formation. All expedite options are available for the following documents:
- Certificate of Formation (domestic entities)
- Certificate of Conversion
- Certificate of Merger
- Certificate of Amendment (domestic entities)
- Restated Certificate of Formation (domestic entities)
- Certificate of Validation (domestic corporations)
The Secretary of State’s office strongly encourages preclearance of documents that will be submitted on a same-day or next-day basis.
Same-day and next-day filings must be submitted in-person. To allow us adequate time to prepare and deliver the filings, Capitol Services’ cut-off time for these filings is 10:30a CT.
