Officially launched on September 1, 2025, the Office of the Texas Secretary of State has 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 new online portal that aims to deliver a streamlined UCC filing and search experience.
What does that mean for our clients? With this new system, your Texas SOS UCC filing evidence is returned much quicker than before with welcomed turnaround times of 1-2 business days. As a bonus, filing fees have also decreased!
Fear not! While we know this is a different workflow than what we are all used to with Texas, Capitol Services has been working closely with the Texas SOS over the past few months to ensure a smooth transfer in services. You may continue to submit your Texas UCC filings to us in the same preferred manner as before, either via email or through our UCC Filing Manager system. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions about Texas’s new system!
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 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, relax, and enjoy the ride.
