How Do You Choose from Among All the Texas Registered Agents?

Consider why you have a registered agent for your foreign corporation in the fist place.
The registered agent is your point of contact for:

• Citations and petitions when you are sued
• Notices from the Texas Secretary of State
• Notices from third parties, like creditors
• Junk mail

Choosing the registered agent for your corporation or limited liability company is usually an afterthought for most people, but, if you are not naming yourself, you should give serious consideration to the following items when choosing between registered agent services:

1. How long has the company been around?
You don't want a fly-by-night company. The registered agent will be the first point of contact for official business and if you're sued. How bad would it be if you got sued, didn't find out about it because the registered agent folded, and then had a judgment taken against you. Our law firm has been operating since 2003.

2. How does the company handle mail?
Most mail received by the registered agent is junk mail - will they save it and forward it to you or throw it away. We throw junk mail away unless you tell us otherwise.

3. How does the company handle official mail?
The rubber meets the road when citations are served, return-receipt mail comes in the door, or government notices arrive. Will they scan and email them to you? Will they overnight them to you? Will they mail them to you? How quickly? Who pays and what are the fees? We will scan and email you official notices. You will be liable for overnight shipments or mailings at the cost we incurr on your behalf.

4. What if you are sued?
The timing to file an answer is critical when you are sued. Delay is not an option. We can review the petition, tell you when the answer is due, and possibly file an answer on your behalf.

5. What is the cost?
Our fee is around $100 per year with extra fees for overnight delivery or forwarding mail.

So what happens if you hire a non-attorney to act as your registered agent in Texas and you get sued?

The company will overnight you the citation and petition. You then have to call or go online to find a lawyer in Texas to file an answer for you.

In the meantime, you lose valuable time to respond. In Texas, you genarally have 20 days + the next Monday to answer, but the time will fly by faster than you anticipate. In addition, you may have to find a specialist for your suit and you may not know you need one until you have gone through several attorneys, losing more time. This of course, adds stress which you don't need.

• Scan the petition and email it to you
• Review the petition and let you know if you need a specialist to file an answer
• Let you know if we can file an immediate answer for you
• File an immediate answer for you, even if you later decide to hire another attorney to represent you.
• Overnight the citation and suit to you if you so desire

You simply cannot get that service from just any registered agent. Consider that our prices are extremely competitive and it's really a no-brainer.
