What is a Texas Business Address?
Your Texas business address is the location that you list on your state paperwork, but it might not be the place where you tutor kids, design websites or fulfill Etsy orders. Here in Texas, you can form a business entity with just one address: the street address of your Texas registered agent. If you work from home (and aren’t too keen on sharing your address with the world) hiring a professional registered agent like Lone Star is a simple way to get a real business address—and keep your information off the public record.
Our local Registered Agent and Business Formation services include a commercial Austin address you can use to form your company, 3 regular mail scans per year (plus all your state and legal mail, of course—we’re your registered agent!) and one-on-one business support whenever you need it.

Why Use a Commercial Texas Address?
You might be tempted to act as your own registered agent and list your place of residence on your state documents—but this means you’ll miss out on all the benefits a professional address can bring to your business. From privacy protection to a stronger brand image, here are a few ways a real Texas business address can bolster your new enterprise.
Respectability
These days, getting the work done is more important than where you get it done. Even so, using a professional address shows your customers that your business means business. With a reputable local address on the public record, your company will be able to build trust and credibility—positioning your brand as a serious contender.
- When you sign up with us, our well-established Austin address becomes yours, for all official business purposes. If you need a unique office address (with an individual suite number) to use on your website, marketing materials and elsewhere, you can upgrade to one of our affordable Texas mail forwarding plans at any point.

Privacy Protection
The Secretary of State requires that you include a Texas street address in your company’s Articles, but it doesn’t have to be your own. In fact, it probably shouldn’t be. Your formation paperwork gets added to the public record where anyone, including advertisers, can access it. That’s why securing a reliable secondary address is so crucial.
- As a Lone Star client, you can list our Austin address for every member, director and officer of your company, on every state form you file. Your privacy is our highest priority, and we do all we can to protect it. To avoid giving out your address full stop, we recommend signing up for one of our unique suite number + Texas mail forwarding plans. You’ll have a professional address you can safely advertise and use in every business interaction.
Convenience
You might move your headquarters once, twice or even several times over your company’s lifetime. With a stable Texas address on the record, you can ensure continuity of service for your customers—and continued compliance with Texas laws—no matter where your life or your business takes you.
- Our commercial address and mail forwarding solutions are varied, flexible, and fully customizable. You can select the type of address you need (with or without a unique suite number), tell us how you’d like to be notified about new mail items, choose to sign up as a business owner OR an individual, and cancel anytime without added fees.

Anyone who needs a virtual Texas HQ—and a reliable way to receive and manage their business or personal mail.

You’ll benefit from a Texas business address if you:
- run a business from your home

- need a professional address for your website
- want an easy way to receive and store mail while you’re on the road

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use my home address for my business?
You can. If you reside in Texas, it’s as simple as listing your home address as your registered office on your formation documents. But if privacy is a concern for you—or you don’t want the responsibility of having to be present at your “registered office” every weekday without fail—we don’t recommend it. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Including your home address on your company’s Articles makes it public forever (everything that gets added to the Texas business database is permanent).
- Service of process (lawsuit papers) have to be accepted in person. As your own Texas registered agent, you’ll be legally obligated to be regularly available in case any legal mail arrives.
- If you move, you’ll need to file a Change of Address form (and pay a $150 filing fee) to keep your business information up to date with the State of Texas.
If you’d rather not be chained to your home office—or have your private information publicized—hire us! We provide local registered agent service for just $50 dollars a year and include a Texas business address too.
How will I receive my mail if I sign up?
When mail arrives for your business (or for yourself) at our secure Austin address, a member of our team will open the mail item and carefully scan the contents to your client account that same day. We also notify you—instantly—every time you have a new document to view.
Our Texas registered agent service includes unlimited legal and state mail scans, plus 3 ordinary pieces of mail every year.
If you expect to receive more non-state mail for your business, if you’re signing up as an individual, or if you need an address you can list on your website, you’ll want to select either Deluxe or Premium Mail Forwarding at checkout for an individual suite number.
How soon can I start using my Texas business address?
Right away! After signing up with us, you’ll receive an email which includes your new Texas business address, and you can use it to form your company. As long as you’re our client, you can use this stable address for the lifetime of your business.
