# Texas

Company data from the Texas business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Secretary of State (SOSPortal) and returns the company profile, legal representatives, other key persons and establishments of Texas companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |  |
| Legal representatives | Yes |  |
| Other key persons | Yes |  |
| Establishments | Yes | Comes back in Prefill only. |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | No |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- Information Letter
- Sales Tax Permit

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 2 s in prefill mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
