Data Sources

Texas uses three data sources depending on the request mode and entity type.

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (onboarding mode)

• Franchise Tax API (primary source). Covers entities set up for franchise tax under Tax Code Chapter 171: corporations, LLCs, LPs, LLPs, professional associations, and other entities doing business in Texas. ~3.4M taxpayers. Provides company name, registered office address, SOS registration status, state of formation, officer/director information, and registered agent details. Equivalent open dataset: Active Franchise Tax Permit Holders.

• Sales Tax Payer API (fallback + establishments). Covers holders of a sales tax permit under Tax Code Chapter 151, Subchapter F. This includes any person or entity authorized to collect sales tax on tangible personal property, including sole traders. Provides business name, individual name (for sole traders), address, permit status, and outlet locations (establishments) with addresses and permit dates. Equivalent open dataset: Active Sales Tax Permit Holders.

Texas Secretary of State (verification mode + documents)

The Texas Secretary of State is the official corporate registry for entities formed or registered to do business in Texas. It is the authoritative source for entity status, filing history, registered agent, officer/director records, and assumed names. Used for verification-mode company profiles and for issuing the Information Letter document. Covers formal entities only: sole traders are not registered with the SOS.

In onboarding mode, franchise tax is tried first (richer data with officers and registered agent). If the entity is not found there (sole traders, entities not set up for franchise tax), it falls back to sales tax automatically. Establishments are always fetched from the sales tax endpoint.

Entity coverage varies by source. Franchise tax (Chapter 171) covers corporations, LLCs, LPs, LLPs, and professional associations. The sales tax endpoint covers holders of a sales tax permit (Chapter 151, Subchapter F): any person or entity selling taxable goods, including sole traders. Businesses that only provide services (consultants, lawyers, SaaS) typically don’t hold a permit and won’t appear in either source. Verification mode is limited to formal entities registered with the Secretary of State: sole traders have no SOS filing and are not covered.

Company Identifiers

Query Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Taxpayer Number	11 digits	17307175087	Texas Comptroller’s primary identifier
Federal EIN	9 digits	730717508	IRS-assigned Employer Identification Number
SOS File Number	6-10 digits	0003077806	Secretary of State registration number

Which identifier to use? For search, any identifier works — 11-digit Taxpayer Number, 9-digit EIN, or SOS File Number. For company profile, you must use the 11-digit Taxpayer Number returned in the search result id field. The detail API only accepts this format.

Search first, then fetch. The EIN and SOS File Number only work for search. To retrieve company data, use the id from the search result (always the 11-digit Taxpayer Number). Passing an EIN or SOS File Number directly to the company profile endpoint will fail.

Identifiers in API Response

Identifier	Format	Example	Found In
taxpayerId	11 digits	17307175087	All entities
feiNumber	9 digits	730717508	Most entities
sosFileNumber	10 digits	0003077806	All entities
stateOfFormation	2-letter	TX, NJ, DE	All entities
sosRegistrationStatus	Text	ACTIVE	All entities

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Pattern	Example	Match Type	Expected Results
By Taxpayer Number	11 digits	17307175087	Exact	Single company
By Federal EIN	9 digits	730717508	Exact	Single company
By SOS File Number	6-8 or 10 digits	0003077806	Exact	Single company
By Name	2-50 chars	"EXXON MOBIL"	Fuzzy	Multiple results

9-digit ambiguity. A 9-digit input is treated as a Federal EIN (sent as taxpayerId). If you need to search by a 9-digit SOS File Number specifically, this is not currently disambiguated — the EIN interpretation takes priority.

Name search is prefix-based. Searching for "TOPOGRAPH" returns all entities whose name starts with or contains that string, including TOPOGRAPHIC OM, INC., TOPOGRAPH LLC, etc.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Onboarding mode is non-authoritative	Onboarding mode uses the Comptroller franchise tax system, not the official SOS corporate registry. Verification mode uses the Secretary of State directly and is authoritative.
Verification mode: formal entities only	The Secretary of State only registers formal entities (corporations, LLCs, LPs, etc.). Sole traders have no SOS filing number. Verification mode requests for sole-trader taxpayer IDs will not resolve.
Company profile requires 11-digit Taxpayer Number	The detail API only accepts the 11-digit Taxpayer Number. EIN and SOS File Number work for search only. Always use the id from search results to fetch company data.
No sole proprietors in franchise tax	Sole proprietors are exempt from franchise tax. They are covered via the sales tax fallback and identified by the IS org type code.
No legal form in Comptroller live API	The Comptroller live API does not return entity type. In onboarding mode, legal form comes from the open data taxpayer_organizational_type code, with name-suffix extraction as fallback. In verification mode, the SOS entity type string is used directly.
Officer titles truncated (onboarding mode)	In onboarding mode, titles from the Comptroller are cut to ~10 characters: VICE PRESIDENT becomes VICE PRESI. AI enrichment standardizes and completes them. In verification mode, titles come directly from the SOS Management tab and are always the full string as filed.
HTML entities in titles	Some Comptroller titles contain & instead of & (e.g., PRES & CEO). Decoded automatically.
Leading spaces in state	stateOfFormation has a leading space (e.g., TX). Trimmed automatically.
Missing detail for some entities	Some entities appear in search but return “not set up for Franchise Tax” on the detail endpoint. These are entities tracked by SOS but not the Comptroller.
Registered agent is not a legal representative	Per BOC §5.206, the registered agent’s only duty is to receive and forward legal process. They have no authority to act for the company. Mapped as Other Key Person.
Two address types	The Comptroller API returns both mailing address and registered office address. We use the registered office as legalAddress because it’s the official address of record.
Two status fields (onboarding mode)	rightToTransactTX = franchise tax standing only. sosRegistrationStatus = corporate status from SOS. We use SOS status as the company status in onboarding mode. In verification mode, status is read directly from the SOS entity page.
Officer data depends on report filing (onboarding mode)	In onboarding mode, officer data comes from franchise tax annual reports. Entities that have never filed a report will have zero officers returned, regardless of their actual structure. This includes some large active companies that file under a different entity. Verification mode reads officers directly from the SOS Management tab and is not affected by this.

Mappings

Company Status

Onboarding mode uses sosRegistrationStatus from the Comptroller (which mirrors the SOS), not rightToTransactTX (franchise tax standing).

Source Value	Mapped Status	Active
ACTIVE	Active	true
INACTIVE	Inactive	false
Other values	As-is	false

Verification mode reads entity status directly from the Secretary of State.

SOS Status Value	Mapped Status	Active	Notes
In existence	In existence	true	Entity is active and in good standing
Forfeited existence	Forfeited	false	Franchise tax delinquency
Voluntarily dissolved	Dissolved	false	Entity chose to dissolve
Merged	Merged	false	Entity was absorbed by another

Legal Forms

Legal form is sourced differently depending on the request mode.

Onboarding mode uses the Comptroller’s taxpayer_organizational_type code, a closed 2-letter set defined in the Franchise Layout record layout, fetched from the Comptroller open data API. It distinguishes domestic vs foreign entities (e.g. CT Texas Profit Corporation vs CF Foreign Profit Corporation) and covers types not detectable from names (nonprofits, associations, trusts, joint ventures). Falls back to name-suffix extraction (BOC §5.054-§5.063) when the open data lookup returns no result.

Verification mode uses the entity type field from the Secretary of State register directly. The SOS uses the full English description from the Texas Business Organizations Code — a closed set of 24 types organized as Domestic/Foreign pairs (e.g. “Domestic Limited Liability Company (LLC)”, “Foreign For-Profit Corporation”). Source: Texas BOC forms index.

ISO 20275 (ELF) codes are from the GLEIF US-TX jurisdiction list.

Activity Codes

NAICS codes are sourced from the SODA3 open data API. ISIC Rev.4 and NACE Rev.2 codes are derived from NAICS via the US Census Bureau concordance table (2022 NAICS to ISIC Rev.4, with 2017 fallback for reorganized codes). NACE Rev.2 is identical to ISIC Rev.4 at the 4-digit level.

System	Source	Example
NAICS	SODA3 open data (franchise or sales tax dataset)	541330 (Engineering Services)
ISIC Rev.4	US Census concordance from NAICS	7110 (Architectural and engineering activities)
NACE Rev.2	Identical to ISIC at 4-digit level	7110

Officer Roles

Officers are split into Legal Representatives (statutory authority to bind the company under Texas BOC) and Other Key Persons (operational, financial, or governance roles).

In onboarding mode, titles come from franchise tax annual reports via the Comptroller. They are a free-text field, frequently truncated to ~10 characters (e.g. “VICE PRESI”, “GENERAL PA”) and sometimes containing HTML entities (“PRES & CEO”). Because there is no closed list, classification is AI-enriched: all titles for a company are sent in a batch to an AI classifier with Texas-specific corporate law instructions (BOC §3.101 for corporate officers, §101.254 for LLC managers, §153.152 for LP general partners). The AI completes truncated titles, standardizes them, and determines binding authority.

In verification mode, titles come directly from the Secretary of State Management tab as the full string as filed (e.g. “VICE PRESIDENT”, “MANAGING MEMBER”). AI enrichment is still applied for standardization, but truncation is not a factor.

Registered agents are always classified as Other Key Persons (BOC §5.206: their only duty is to receive and forward legal process).

Common Legal Representative titles -- can bind the company

Title	Standardized	Legal Basis
PRESIDENT, PRES	President	BOC §3.101
VICE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESI, VP	Vice President	BOC §3.101

DIRECTOR	Director	Board member
CEO, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER	Chief Executive Officer	Executive authority
MANAGER, MANAGING MEMBER	Manager	BOC §101.254 (LLC)
GENERAL PARTNER, GENERAL PA	General Partner	BOC §153.152 (LP/LLP)
MANAGING PARTNER	Managing Partner	BOC §153.152
OWNER	Owner	Sole authority
GENERAL COUNSEL	General Counsel	Legal authority

Common Other Key Person titles -- no statutory binding authority

Title	Standardized	Notes
CHAIRMAN	Board Member	Oversight only in Texas
ASSISTANT SECRETARY, ASECRETARY	Secretary	Delegated, no independent authority
APPOINTED ASSISTANT SECRETARY	Secretary	Delegated, no independent authority
TREASURER	Treasurer	Financial role

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER	Other
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, SVP	Other	Operational seniority
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, EVP	Other	Operational seniority
CONTROLLER	Other	Financial staff
LIMITED PARTNER, PARTNER, MEMBER	Other	No management authority
AUDITOR	Auditor
REGISTERED AGENT	Other	Receives and forwards legal process only (BOC §5.206)

These tables list commonly observed titles. Because the API uses a free-text field, new or uncommon titles may appear. The AI classifier handles unknown titles based on Texas corporate law context, defaulting to Other Key Person when in doubt.
