Bizee's Free Window Closes at $149, and Nothing in Texas Will Remind You

There is a seller behind this page and you should know it before the first comparison. TX Registered Agent.org provides Texas registered agent service for $99 annually, which gives us an obvious stake in how you feel about Bizee by the final paragraph. What we do not have a stake in is their pricing, which is reproduced here exactly as they published it, checked July 2026.

The Bundled Months Are Worth Having

Bizee spent years trading as Incfile. Its formation packages fold in registered agent service at no charge for anywhere between one quarter and one full year, depending on which package went into the cart. That is a legitimate giveaway. If Bizee is forming your Texas LLC regardless, those months cost you nothing and there is no catch buried in them.

Their formation product is also fine work. The interview is short, the filings go out promptly, and a lot of Texas companies exist because Bizee made the paperwork feel survivable. We would not pretend otherwise.

The Part That Runs on a Calendar Instead of a Price

Once the bundled window closes, standalone agent service bills $149 a year. That figure is published and Bizee does not conceal it.

The difficulty is structural rather than financial. Three months and twelve months are very different expiration dates, the one that applies to you depends on which package you clicked, and the whole point of a free service is that you stop thinking about it. A price you do not think about renews perfectly well without your attention.

Which Brings Us to How Texas Is Organized

Most states put a single agency in charge of the whole relationship, so one annual envelope arrives and prompts an owner to review everything at once. Texas splits the job across two desks, and the split has consequences for anyone tracking a bundle expiry.

Read that as one sentence and it says something useful. Your yearly obligation in Texas did not disappear, it simply moved buildings. The office that keeps your agent on file will not write to you every spring, and the office that writes to you every spring is asking about tax, not about who your agent is. Neither envelope is going to say "your free agent term has ended."

Missing the Comptroller's date is not costless either. A $50 penalty attaches, percentage add-ons stack on top of any tax owed as the delay lengthens, and a company that simply keeps ignoring the report ends up in the forfeiture provisions of chapter 171 of the Texas Tax Code, which strip corporate privileges first and can reach the certificate of formation afterward.

We do not prepare or file franchise tax reports and will not imply that we do. What an agent can honestly offer in this state is calendar work: a reminder before May 15 arrives, plus state correspondence forwarded the day it lands rather than the week after.

Ninety-Nine Dollars, and Ninety-Nine Again

Our rate is flat and identical at renewal. It covers a Texas street address of ours, which is what the public file shows instead of your own. Whatever gets served on you is imaged the same day and flagged by email. Deadline reminders are built on the May 15 date rather than on a promotional expiry, and the portal holds every document we have handled for you.

Low, not lowest. That distinction belongs to BetterLegal, whose published $90 undercuts our $99, so we print it ourselves rather than let it surface later as a reason to distrust the rest of the page.

Replacing Bizee as Your Texas Agent When the Free Term Ends

One filing does it. Form 401 goes to the Secretary of State carrying a $15 LLC fee, by SOSDirect or by post, with our address and our consent already in your hands from signup, and the Bizee account left running until the record shows the change. Our Texas change of agent guide works through each part of the form.

The only scheduling advice worth giving is to do it before the free window shuts rather than after the first $149 posts. Find the expiry date in your Bizee account today, put it on a calendar, and set the reminder for the month before.
