Harris County DBA
In Harris County, Texas, a DBA is referred to most commonly as your business' assumed name. Filing for an assumed name is a simple and inexpensive process. Best of all, your assumed name is good for ten years. If during that time the business ceases or you decide to pursue a different operation, you must file a notice to withdraw your business name.
First you'll have to conduct a name search to see if the business name you're interested in is available. After you have the name you want, you can simply walk in to the Personal Records Department and have the deputy clerk complete your assumed name form. If there's more than one owner, all owners must be present during this type of filing. Or you may mail in your completed form for recording. In either case, the form must be notarized or witnessed (with proper ID) and the fees-which are modest-paid. Publication of your assumed name is not required by law, but if you want to cover all your bases as to notification you may publish notice if you wish.
The county clerk's office doesn't take telephone requests for business name searches, but LegalCPU does. We'll look up your top three name choices, let you know if they're available, and file your DBA form for one low package price.
