Most people land here looking for the state and find us instead
So here is what you have actually found. The three May obligations gathered in one place, with every figure stamped to the Comptroller page it was copied from and the day somebody read it. What is on offer is help naming which filing is yours, which turns out to be the hard part. A reinstatement that needs a Texas attorney stays with the attorney, and we will say so rather than take the work.
The Texas Franchise Report is a publication name for this one subject. It is not a government website and it has no affiliation with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which is worth repeating on the page where somebody is most likely to be wondering.
Figures were read at Comptroller franchise index. Following that link leaves this site.
Who stamps the figures
Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. The number in the footer is the one that rings. There is no street address printed anywhere on the site. The practice sits in Dallas and works with owners all over Texas without needing to be in the room.

What the little date under every figure is for
Every number on this site carries the Comptroller page it came off and the day somebody sat and read it. That is there for you, not for us. When the Comptroller moves a threshold, the old date is your clue that this page is due another read, and you are welcome to tell us so. Nothing here is a computation of your own entity, and it never will be without your return in front of us.
The one May job that goes somewhere else
Reading the index, naming your filing, computing the margin off the federal return and preparing that return are all work anybody may do, and they are the work here. Signing a report on your financial statements, an audit or a review or a compilation, is not, because Texas keeps that for licensed firms and there is no CPA license behind this guide.
It comes up when a bank wants a signed set rather than a filed report, and when it does you will be told straight away and pointed at a firm that can sign one. The full list of what this desk leaves alone is on the disclosures page.
What people read next
If you want the May filing read with you
The call does two things. It names which of the three filings is actually yours, and it asks whether the federal return underneath it is ready, because nothing can be copied until it is. If this is a poor fit, including the reinstatements that really want an attorney, you will hear that before anybody mentions a next step.
You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.
