To file or record a business name with the Taylor County Clerk, you can submit the forms in person or by mail.  The documentation must be properly acknowledged by a notary and should be on a form provided by our office or from this website. The fee for filing is $16.00, $.50 cents for each additional partner listed on the certificate.

PLEASE NOTE:

"The County Clerk will accept a filing of an assumed name certificate as a notice of intent to use of the assumed name without determining whether the registrant has the right to the use of the name. Consequently, there may be the same assumed name on file by more than one organization. The purpose of the assumed name filing is to provide notice that a business or profession is being conducted under a name that may not clearly identify the owners or participants and to provide further information on the identity and location of such owners or participants. Every business must protect its own business name and the good will that it has acquired from the sale of its good or services in a specific geographic area." Texas Secretary of State
