New business filings by month

Complete months only. A month appears here once the state's own publishing has run past the end of it, so a slow upstream feed is never reported as a decline.

July 2026	41,032	-0.3%
June 2026	41,146	-2.9%
May 2026	42,387	-4.4%

Industry mix

Every filing is classified into one of 13 industry categories from the registered business name. Over the same window, 85% of Texas filings carried a classification. "Other" covers holding companies, entities named only for a person, and any name with no inferable industry, which is a large share of any registry.

How this is measured

• Source. Official Texas business registry records published by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which publishes Secretary of State charter records for registered entities, collected daily. Nothing here is modeled or estimated.
• Coverage. Our Texas index begins 2026-03-09. Earlier months are not shown because our collection, not the state's activity, would explain the numbers.
• Settlement. States publish on their own schedules and some run weeks behind. Data for Texas is settled through 2026-08-19, and only months fully inside that are published.
• Counting. One row per filed entity. We collect operating-business entity types: LLCs, corporations, professional entities such as PLLCs and PCs, limited partnerships and LLPs. The exact set of types each state publishes differs, so the mix is not identical across states and these totals are not a like-for-like ranking between them.
• Business day. Rates use weekdays only, since registries post on weekdays.

Official Texas business registry records published by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which publishes Secretary of State charter records for registered entities, collected daily by AlphaLeads and refreshed weekly on this page.
