Starting a Nonprofit in Texas
Texas is a thriving hub for community based organizations. Our step by step course will help you navigate state and federal filing with confidence.

Texas nonprofits file a Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State and pay a $25 filing fee. Charitable organizations that intend to solicit donations must register with the Texas Attorney General’s Office if applicable. Texas requires at least three directors and annual reports to remain in good standing. State tax exemption may also be obtained through the Texas Comptroller’s Office.
