TEXAS CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING
IS THIS YOU?

Your bank, lender, title company, or a new-state registration is asking for proof of good standing

The state portal is clunky and easy to get wrong under deadline pressure
You need the certificate today,
not next week
THE ONE THING TO GET RIGHT
Texas Doesn't Actually Issue a Document Called "Certificate of Good Standing."
What lenders, title companies, and other states actually want is the Secretary of State's Certificate of Fact, Status, sometimes called a certificate of existence.
It confirms your entity exists and has not forfeited its registration.
That's exactly what we deliver, confirmed directly with the Texas Secretary of State.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Texas Certificate of Good Standing the same as a Certificate of Fact?
Yes. Texas does not issue a document literally called a Certificate of Good Standing. What you actually receive is the Secretary of State's Certificate of Fact, Status, sometimes called a certificate of existence, and that is what lenders, title companies, and other states mean when they ask for good standing.
How fast can I get my Texas Certificate of Fact?
Most certificates are delivered the same business day or the next business day after your request and payment are submitted, as a clean PDF sent directly to your inbox.
What do I need the Certificate of Good Standing for?
Business owners are usually asked for this by a lender during a loan application, a title company during a real estate closing, or another state's agency when registering to do business outside Texas.
What if my Texas business is not in good standing?
You can confirm your status directly HERE before requesting anything. If your entity is forfeited or not in good standing, we flag it immediately and can help you reinstate it through our Texas Franchise Tax Reinstatement service.
What does the $99 flat fee include?
The $99 flat fee covers confirming your status with the Secretary of State, requesting the Certificate of Fact, Status, and delivering it as a ready to send PDF with a plain English cover note. No hidden charges.
NOT SURE WHERE YOU STAND?
We'll Check For You, Either Way You're Covered.
If you're current, we deliver your certificate. If you've been forfeited or have a franchise tax problem, we'll tell you exactly what it takes to fix it, and your $99 credits toward reinstatement.
A forfeited entity cannot receive the certificate at all. Crediting your fee toward reinstatement means you never pay for a "no."
