Texas LLC costs and state fees
Texas pairs a formation filing with an annual franchise-tax and public-information-report cycle. The projected recurring line comes directly from the verified ledger for the current reporting cycle. The reporting obligation exists regardless of whether a variable tax is due, and revenue above the threshold can create a charge that this fixed-fee model cannot calculate.

What the reviewed record says
Caveats kept separate from calculation
The verified research sets the no-tax-due threshold for the current reporting cycle and explains that the public-information report is still required when no variable tax is due. Revenue above that threshold can create a charge outside this fixed-fee model. The obligation belongs to the Comptroller rather than a standard Secretary of State annual report, which matters when you build the company's compliance calendar.
