Public Information Report

Texas annual information report filed with the franchise-tax package for many entity types.

Who must file: Texas entities that must file a Public Information Report as part of the annual franchise-tax filing package, generally instead of an Ownership Information Report.

Practical overview

The Public Information Report is the state-information layer attached to the annual Texas franchise-tax cycle. Founders often focus only on whether tax is owed and miss that the information report can still be part of staying compliant.

Practical steps

  • Confirm whether the entity files a Public Information Report rather than an Ownership Information Report.
  • Gather the reporting details the Comptroller requires for the annual filing.
  • File it together with the Texas franchise-tax report package by the annual due date.
