About 1,650 new business entities are registered in Texas per business day. That is the average across the 60 days ending 2026-09-24, drawn from 278,345 Texas filings indexed from official Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which publishes Secretary of State charter records for registered entities records. The latest complete month is August 2026, with 40,537 new filings, 1.2% fewer than in July 2026.
These pages are regenerated weekly from the same records that feed our daily lead feed. Figures below are free to cite with a link back to this page.
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.
| Month | New filings | Change |
|---|---|---|
| August 2026 | 40,537 | -1.2% |
| July 2026 | 41,032 | -0.3% |
| June 2026 | 41,146 | -2.9% |
| May 2026 | 42,387 | -4.4% |
| April 2026 | 44,360 | n/a |
Not shown: March 2026 (we hold 17 of 22 business days). Each points to a gap or irregularity in our own collection rather than a change in Texas filing activity, so that month is left out rather than published with a misleading total.
Every filing is classified into one of 13 industry categories from the registered business name. Over the same window, 65% 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.
| Industry | Filings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 29,609 | 56.4% |
| Real Estate | 4,275 | 8.1% |
| Professional Services | 2,882 | 5.5% |
| Retail | 2,506 | 4.8% |
| Construction | 2,435 | 4.6% |
| Home Services | 1,832 | 3.5% |

40,537 new business entities were registered in Texas in August 2026, based on filings published by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which publishes Secretary of State charter records for registered entities. That is the most recent month for which Texas data is complete.
About 1,650 new business entities are registered in Texas per business day, averaged across the 60 days ending 2026-09-24. Registries post on weekdays, so this is a per business day figure rather than a calendar day figure.
After allowing for entities whose registered name gives no industry away, the most common identifiable categories among new Texas businesses are Real Estate, Professional Services and Retail.
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. Nothing here is modeled, sampled or estimated. A month is published only once Texas has finished publishing it, so a slow state feed is never shown as a fall in business formation.
The daily feed is every one of these filings as a CSV, 24 to 72 hours after it hits the registry, with the business name, owner or agent where published, mailing address, entity type and industry classification. Pro adds a verified company website, email and phone where one exists.
