Updated: Aug 12
Annex Business Center | Houston, Texas
If your Texas LLC shows “Forfeited” or “Not in Good Standing,” don’t panic. Annex Business Center is here to help you restore your company quickly and correctly. This way, you can continue operating, accepting payments, and securing contracts without interruption.
What Does “Forfeited” Mean?
An LLC may be forfeited by the:
Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
Texas Secretary of State
This usually happens because:
Franchise Tax Reports were not filed.
Public Information Reports (PIR) were missed.
Taxes, penalties, or interest were unpaid.
Registered agent information was not maintained.
When forfeited, your LLC:
Loses the legal right to conduct business in Texas.
Risks losing liability protection.
May be unable to secure loans, contracts, or payment processing.
Cannot qualify for government contracts.
