TX Nonprofit Registration Rules: When Filing with OAG or Secretary of State Is Required.
Under Texas law, most charities are not required to register with the state, but certain law enforcement-related, public safety, and veterans organizations that solicit by telephone must register with the Office of the Attorney General or the Texas Secretary of State.
Why It Matters
Texas nonprofit professionals should know that registration with these state offices does not imply approval or endorsement, and failing to register when required could lead to compliance issues.
