Travis County assumed name filing guide

Travis County’s official vocabulary is “assumed name,” and its dedicated DBA record identifies the Travis County County Clerk.

The county route is supported for unincorporated businesses; corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, and foreign filing entities belong with the Texas Secretary of State.

Consequently, this is a local sole-proprietor record rather than a statewide answer.

The guide maintains those limits while presenting the county facts that are actually confirmed: authority, fee basis, maximum certificate period, and the instrument used after discontinuance.

Travis County’s evidence offers a different price expression from the other measured Texas counties: it ties twenty-three dollars to one business name and one owner.

That specificity is the reason not to copy a fee from Harris, Bexar, Denton, Tarrant, or Collin.

The county also maintains a DBA-specific destination, making it the appropriate place to resolve form and delivery questions that the extracted facts leave open.

This page deliberately stops at the boundary of that record.

Its local function is to join the Travis clerk and Travis fee wording to the correct unincorporated entity branch.

The verified handoff is Travis County’s DBA page.

Its fee is described as twenty-three dollars “for business name and one owner.”

Both units matter: the statement does not support calling that amount an unlimited flat charge.

A filer should therefore open the dedicated county page and obtain those mechanics from the clerk.

DBA Filing Guide supplies no substitute paperwork and receives no filing data.

Before acting, compare the authority’s current fee display with the preserved one-name, one-owner wording.

Travis County’s certificate period cannot exceed ten years.

The record repeats that limit for renewal, but it does not state a renewal deadline, grace period, or separate renewal process.

The supported discontinuance fact is the availability of a Certificate of Abandonment when the business name is no longer used.

A reader should not turn the ten-year maximum into a guaranteed lifespan, and should not treat an absent publication answer as a statement that notice is unnecessary.

Use the entity split as the first checkpoint.

If the business is unincorporated and Travis County is the applicable county, visit the clerk’s DBA page and verify the certificate, current fee, and accepted submission channel.

If the business is one of the state-filing entities named in the evidence, leave the county path and use the Secretary of State.

For county filing, note the precise period entered on the certificate and do not let it exceed the documented ceiling.

Locate the Certificate of Abandonment if use ends.
