No requirement exists under Texas law for a Texas LLC to create an operating agreement. However, it is recommended. Both sole owners and multi-members benefit from a Texas LLC operating agreement.
First, the name must include the words “Limited Liability Company” or one of its abbreviations, such as “LLC” or “L.L.C.” This requirement helps clarify the legal structure of the business to the public. Second, the name must be distinguishable from other LLC names already on file with the Texas Secretary of State.
The City of San Antonio Development Services Department at 1901 S. Alamo St. is a one stop shop for required permits, licenses, zoning, and certificates to operate a business in San Antonio.
Do I need a Business License? The City of San Antonio does not have a general business license. The type of license or permit needed is based on the product or service you plan to provide.
In general, sole proprietorships and partnerships need to register and file the business name (DBA or assumed name) with their local county clerk's office. If you decide to incorporate, the Secretary of State's Office (SOS) website has information on choosing the right legal structure for you.
