A former contractor for my company had stolen my website and my locked me out of my email. My first call with Andrew and Lisa was pretty much to discovery call where they asked about the details of my complaint. From there, Andrew took the ball and begin to contact the individuals and send a demand letter. He updated me along the way and every step and was very communicative.

The first weekend the demand letter was confirmed that it was received, and he spoke with the individual that following Monday. He brokered the arrangement in a very professional manner and brought it to a close in less than 10 days later with me receiving back control of my email address and access to my domain.

Whether you need a nice guy or a junkyard dog Andrew's gonna be my guy for a long time to come! I would recommend Andrew and Lisa to anyone and everyone!

Response from the owner:That’s fantastic to hear, Isaac! Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. There’s an old Finnish saying: "Why bark? Have dog." Andrew was honored to be your "dog", and we’d be happy to represent you again anytime. It was a pleasure getting you back in control, and I appreciate your trust in us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I apply for a business license in Texas online?

You can register most Texas businesses online through the Texas Secretary of State. Some cities or counties may have their own application websites for local permits.

Starting with state registration is usually a good first step, followed by checking with your county or city for specific rules.

What are the requirements to obtain a business license in Texas?

Texas does not require a general state-wide business license for all businesses. However, you may need special permits depending on your business type, such as sales tax or professional licenses. Every business must register with the state if creating a formal entity like an LLC or corporation.

If you are unsure about the permits for your particular business, contact both state and local offices, as the requirements can change by location and industry.

Can you tell me the cost of getting a business license in Texas?

Fees for licenses and permits in Texas can vary. Registering an LLC with the state usually costs around $300, but local permits or specialized licenses may have additional fees.

The costs can vary widely depending on your business activities, so it’s always a good idea to double-check with the relevant office to avoid any surprises.

Do small businesses need a specific license in Texas?

Small businesses in Texas do not need a general state license, but you might need specific permits depending on your business type or service and where you operate. Common examples include sales tax permits or health department permits.

How do I look up a business license in Texas?

You can look up the status of most Texas businesses and licenses by searching the Texas Secretary of State’s online system. Some local permits might only be available from your city or county office.

Is an EIN equivalent to a business license in Texas?

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal tax number you get from the IRS. It is not a business license in Texas. You may need both an EIN and the appropriate licenses or permits, depending on your business.

It’s important not to confuse these registrations—having an EIN does not mean you have met state or local licensing requirements.
