Franchise Tax Public Information ReportWhat a stranger is allowed to see

Sonny Bryan's has been serving near UT Southwestern since 1958, and a name that stays on a sign that long was kept on purpose. A name that left an officer list was not kept on purpose. It was left there. The notebook in the photograph is empty on purpose, so the page is about your names and not about a menu.

Picture a member who stepped away in March and is still the only name a stranger would read in the fall. Revenue was never a line on that public card. No dollar figure belongs in the sketch, and none is printed here. The stale name is the line that can be wrong. The repair is a current list on the matching form, prepared because the year itself is already in order.

What the Comptroller site shows for officers is the latest public report the Secretary of State has processed. Until that next card is processed, the old name is the one a buyer meets. Describing the problem on a website does not update the search. Signing the right card, after the month is closed, is what updates it.

The form collects a principal office, a records location, and a principal place of business. Those fields are on the form. They are not a reason for this site to publish an address, and we do not. Ownership information on form 05-167 is confidential. A stranger does not get that report by searching the entity. If your worry is a published percentage, say so, and we will separate that worry from the officer lines, which really are public.

Entity type chooses between the public report and the ownership report. A percentage on a cap table does not. An LLC on the public list files the public report even when a federal election changed how the federal return reads. Keep the election letter. Keep it out of the pile that decides 05-102.
