How to Change the Address on a Texas PLLC Incorporation
The Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) regulates the formation of Professional Limited Liability Corporations (PLLCs). The BOC requires PLLCs to have a registered agent and office address filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Changing the address of the PLLC requires submitting a Statement of Change of Registered Agent/Office form. The PLLC's registered agent can submit this form by fax, mail, online or in person at the Secretary of State's office.
