This is pretty common actually. You can have a franchise tax account without SOS registration if you were doing business in Texas but weren't formally registered as a foreign entity. Call the Comptroller's office directly (not SOS) and ask them to close your franchise tax account. They'll need to review your specific situation. Usually they just need proof you're no longer doing business in Texas, like your sales tax account closure confirmation. More on reddit.com

You have to file a TX franchise, but since your LLC had gross revenues less than $2.47 million, you only have to file a public information report ( https://comptroller.texas.gov/forms/05-102-a.pdf ). You should have received a webfile number from the state when forming your LLC, but if you don't have it you can mail the PIR. If you have the webfile number, you can go here: https://comptroller.texas.gov/ and enter your taxpayer number and webfile number and file the PIR online. Your tax preparer should be able to do this for you rather quickly, not sure why you're handling it. More on reddit.com

If you are dissolving there really isn't much need to update your address with the state record. You will need to send these forms in: The Public Information Report and No Tax Due Report for 2023 for the older business to cover any time operating between 1/1/22 and 12/31/22, The 2024 EZ Computation Report + Public Information Report for both of them which covers from 1/1/23 - 12/31/23. You will also need to file a Final Report for both businesses, which covers from 1/1/24 to present day. The Request for the Certificate of Account Status (for termination purposes) $50 per late report, which should be 3, so $150 total. The three are the 2022 report and both of the 2023 reports. There is currently no late fee due for the 2024 reports and the final reports are not late. As for your questions: Are these the appropriate initial steps to terminate an LLC? --- Basically, with some minor improvements above. Out of curiosity, how would it impact me to have an LLC under my name and do absolutely nothing with it? I ask because I am currently stressed about the unknown, I just want it out of my hair. --- The state will forfeit these businesses (and they may already have done so, which will add to your process of resolving this so be sure that they are still "in existence" with the TX SOS before doing any of this! Let me know if you need to reinstate first, I can assist.) and once forfeited you have a set amount of time to get back in good standing. If you don't, the state will put your businesses into collections and you will start to receive debt collection notices. I am not 100% on this part, but I believe it can impact your credit since it is your LLC (or LLCs, in your case). What additional documents am I going to be sent and what amount would you anticipate the fees would add up to? --- List is above, fees in total should be $150 for obtaining the Certificate to terminate. Termination of each business with the TX SOS costs about $40 each. Let me know if you have questions about this additional step. This one is a bit more technical, but the Texas Comptroller's website page for changing address requests for a filing #. I understood that this was on my LLC certification and it literally says filing # on the top right. However, mine is nine digits not ten digits so the website won't accept it. Am I looking at the right thing? --- Without seeing it myself, if your filing number starts with 8, then you're just missing a 0 in front of it to make it 08. This is just a guess! Feel free to DM me an image of what you're looking at so that I can assist better. If you would like to hire someone to handle all this for you, shoot me a message and we can go over everything that you might need, such as reinstatement if they have been forfeited, filing your reports for you, or even terminating altogether!
