Tarrant County assumed name filing guide

Tarrant County’s official instructions use “assumed name” and identify the Tarrant County County Clerk for the local record.

Verified entity wording assigns unincorporated businesses to the county branch, while corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, and foreign filing entities use the Texas Secretary of State.

The guide therefore treats the county evidence as a sole-proprietor route rather than an all-entity answer.

The local facts that are established include an owner-count fee, a ceiling on the period stated in the certificate, and a named abandonment certificate.

Tarrant County’s evidence is document-specific: the official action opens a county instruction PDF rather than a general clerk landing page.

Its fee resembles Harris County’s owner-count structure but has its own wording—twenty-four dollars for one owner and fifty cents for each additional owner listed.

This page keeps the Tarrant language and destination together.

The confirmed Tarrant answer is limited to the clerk’s role, the unincorporated branch, the owner-based charge, the ten-year ceiling, and the abandonment certificate.

The verified authority link is Tarrant County’s 2024 Assumed Name Form Instructions PDF.

Its fee wording is twenty-four dollars for one owner and fifty cents for every additional owner listed.

Since the increment attaches to owners, this page does not calculate a total without knowing a filer’s circumstances.

The county PDF is thus the direct place to confirm the current document and delivery requirements.

DBA Filing Guide provides the official handoff only; it cannot accept a completed certificate, owner details, or payment.

Tarrant County’s supported duration rule says the period written on the certificate may not exceed ten years.

The renewal field carries that same limit and nothing more, so there is no verified renewal window or method to report.

The record identifies a Certificate of Abandonment when the business name is discontinued.

None of those missing rules can be derived from the year in the instruction document or from the certificate’s maximum period.

If so, open the county’s instruction PDF, verify that it is still current, and obtain the certificate and submission details it directs.

Use the twenty-four-dollar first-owner amount and fifty-cent added-owner amount only in the form stated by the clerk.

Businesses in the verified corporation, LLC, limited-partnership, or foreign-filing groups should use the Secretary of State branch.

Preserve the period actually selected on a filed certificate.

Find the Certificate of Abandonment after discontinuance, and ask the county for current amendment or publication guidance because neither is confirmed here.
