Updated from previous video on Protected Series Filings

The Texas Secretary of State has recently changed how assumed name certificates (Form 503) must be filed for protected series LLCs, and following outdated instructions can now result in rejected filings and unnecessary delays.

In this video, Texas attorney Nate Gilbert explains the update and clears up a rule that has caused confusion for both business owners and professionals. You’ll learn when you should use the regular Form 503, when the revised “series” Form 503 is still required, and why the Secretary of State reversed its prior position. This is especially important if you’re forming or managing a series LLC and need to properly register a protected series name or file a DBA.

Nate also walks through real-world examples, explains the difference between protected series and registered series, and covers when filings can be completed online versus when they must be mailed in. If you’ve watched older videos or followed prior guidance, this update replaces that information and reflects how filings are being handled right now.

Series LLCs can be powerful tools when structured correctly, but small filing mistakes can create compliance issues, delays, or unnecessary costs. If you’re unsure which form applies to your situation—or you’re forming a series LLC, standard LLC, or PLLC in Texas—getting clarity early matters.

If you’d like personalized guidance, Nate offers free consultations to discuss your business structure, filings, and next steps.
