What is a Texas SOS Number?

A Texas SOS Number is issued by the Texas Secretary of State’s office to entities that "transact business in Texas." This number may be required to do business with certain Texas entities, including customers using PaymentWorks.

What Is It Used For?

  • Identifies your business as registered with the Texas Secretary of State.
  • Ensures compliance with Texas state requirements for businesses operating within the state.

Do I Need a Texas SOS Number?

  • Check with Your Customer: If you are unsure whether this information is required for your PaymentWorks registration, contact your customer for clarification.
  • Consult a Business Counsel: If you’re uncertain whether your entity needs to register with the Texas Secretary of State, it is recommended to consult your legal or business advisor.
