2026 Texas Compliance Calendar: PIR, Franchise Tax & Key Deadlines

June 4, 2026 · 3 min read

By Corporations TX Editorial Team

Never miss a Texas deadline again. Use this free 2026 calendar to stay on top of your Public Information Report (PIR), franchise tax filings, and other key compliance dates.

Texas does not have a traditional annual report fee like many states. However, almost every LLC, corporation, and professional entity must file specific reports with the Texas Comptroller every year.

2026 Key Dates at a Glance

May 15, 2026 (or next business day): Most important date for the majority of Texas businesses.

  • Public Information Report (PIR) - Form 05-102 due (or Ownership Information Report for some entities).
  • Franchise Tax Report due. Note: For 2026, entities at or below the $2.65M annualized revenue threshold do NOT file a separate No Tax Due Report — they file PIR/OIR only (but still must file the information report).
  • Ownership Information Report (OIR) if applicable.

Other Important Windows:

  • Quarterly estimated payments if you owe franchise tax.
  • Registered agent updates: File promptly with SOS after any change (no fixed annual date, but must stay current).
  • Sales tax returns: Monthly, quarterly, or annual depending on your volume (check your Comptroller account).
  • BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) federal report: Ongoing for new entities (FinCEN deadlines apply separately).

Who Must File What?

Public Information Report (PIR):

  • Required for: LLCs, Corporations, Professional Associations, LPs, and most other filing entities.
  • Even if your revenue is under the franchise tax threshold (~$2.65M in recent years), you almost certainly still file the PIR.
  • Purpose: Updates the state on your managers, members, registered agent, and principal office.

Franchise Tax:

  • No personal state income tax in Texas is a big advantage.
  • Franchise tax is a privilege tax based on revenue (not profit).
  • 2026 no-tax-due threshold: $2.65 million annualized total revenue.
  • Entities at or below threshold owe $0 but must file PIR (no separate No Tax Due Report required for 2026+).
  • File combined with the PIR in most cases.

Registered Agent:

  • Must maintain a valid Texas registered agent at all times.
  • No annual filing required for the agent itself, but update SOS immediately if it changes.

How to File (Quick Links)

  • Comptroller Webfile (PIR + Franchise Tax): comptroller.texas.gov
  • SOSDirect (for entity updates, registered agent changes): direct.sos.state.tx.us
  • Download current forms from the official Texas Comptroller and Secretary of State sites.

Pro Tip: Set calendar reminders 30 days early. Many businesses lose good standing (and limited liability protection) due to missed PIR filings.
