Officially launched on September 1, 2025, the Office of the Texas Secretary of State implemented a new UCC online filing system and will no longer accept paper filings by mail, fax, or in person. All filings now must be submitted through their online portal that aims to deliver a streamlined UCC filing and search experience.
While we know that change can be hard and that this workflow is different, Capitol Services has been working closely with the Texas SOS over the past few months to ensure a smooth transfer in services. Rest assured that you may continue to submit your Texas UCC filings to us in your same preferred manner as before, either via email or through our UCC Filing Manager system. On the upside, Texas SOS UCC filing evidence will now be returned much quicker than before, with welcomed turnaround times of 1-2 business days. As a bonus, filing fees have also decreased! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions about the new Texas SOS system – we are here to make the transition seamless for you.
Are you wondering if Corporate processes will also undergo a modernization effort? The answer is yes. While the Texas SOS hasn’t released a date for the Corporate changeover, they have confirmed that they aim to roll this system out sometime in 2026. Capitol Services is staying on top of updates and will be prepared to tackle this implementation as well, so our clients can sit back and relax knowing that their filings will be handled.
