After a successful search, you will be able to:

- Return to the search page
Information about corporate officers and directors is specifically designated as public information by Texas Tax Code 171.203. There is no comparable provision making public the information about the principals of other entity types. It is our interpretation of Texas Tax Code 171.206 that ownership information reported by other entity types (associations, partnerships, trusts) as part of their franchise tax filing is confidential and not subject to public disclosure. Accordingly, that information is not available on this site.
Corporate officer and director information is provided from the Secretary of State. If you receive a message that officer and director information for a corporation or limited liability company is not available, you may order a copy of a Public Information Report from open.records@cpa.state.tx.us or by mail at Comptroller of Public Accounts, Open Government Division, PO Box 13528, Austin, Texas 78711. Copies of Ownership Information Reports are not subject to public disclosure.
