Business Name Registration Process
Registering a business name in Texas is done when you form your entity with the state.

Afterward, you submit your paperwork which includes the new business’ name.

Trademark Registration in Texas
You can get a trademark for your business. This usually costs around $200 to $480 plus any legal fees. You will need to pay this fee again every ten years, too.
The cost of a trademark is high for a small business. But it will give your company brand nationwide protection backed by federal law. That means if someone tries to do business with the same or similar name as yours, you will have legal precedent on your side.
