Texas Company Registry Scraper — Comptroller Franchise Tax
Look up Texas companies in the official Texas Comptroller franchise-tax registry and export clean, normalized records — legal name, DBA, EIN, SOS file number, status, formation state and date, registered agent, officers with titles, and addresses.
The source is a public JSON API. No login, no cookies, no proxies, no captchas — which is why runs are fast (a few seconds for a hundred companies) and reliable.
What you get
One row per company, every field always present, null when the registry does not publish it:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
name / legalName | ANTHROPIC, PBC |
dbaName | ANTHROPIC, PBC, INC. |
ein | 861696045 |
documentNumber | 0805470362 (SOS file number) |
entityType | Corporation / LLC / PBC (derived from the legal suffix) |
status | ACTIVE |
jurisdiction / formationDate | Delaware / 2024-03-19 |
registeredAgent | name + full address |
officers[] | name, title, year, address |
principalAddress, mailingAddress | street, city, state, ZIP |
annualReports, lastEvent, filingHistory | reporting history |
sourceUrl | link back to the source |
Output is available as JSON, CSV or Excel from the dataset tab.
How to use it
Paste company names into Search terms and run. That is the whole setup.
| Input | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
searchTerms | ["ANTHROPIC"] | names or fragments, 2–50 characters |
taxpayerIds | [] | exact 9/11-digit numbers — fastest, skips the search |
fileNumbers | [] | 6–10-digit SOS file numbers |
maxResults | 100 | hard cap on saved records |
mode | full | new = only companies you have not seen before |
includePartialRecords | false | keep entities the detail endpoint refuses |
includeRaw | false | attach the untouched source JSON |
maxConcurrency | 5 | parallel requests |
sameDomainDelaySecs | 1.5 | politeness gap |
At least one of searchTerms, taxpayerIds, fileNumbers is required.
Monitoring: run it on a schedule
Set mode to new and put the actor on a schedule (daily or weekly). It remembers which companies it already returned and only saves fresh ones — so you get a change feed instead of paying for the same records twice.
This is the intended use for lead generation, compliance monitoring and vendor screening.
Broad searches
The registry caps a single query at about 925 rows and answers 413 when you exceed it. When that happens the actor automatically re-searches the term with legal suffixes ("ACME" → "ACME LLC", "ACME INC", …), up to two levels deep — measured on "TEXAS" (65 137 entries), that produced 191 real candidates. If a term is still too broad, narrow it.
Two more things worth knowing:
- Some entities are registered with the Secretary of State but are not enrolled in franchise tax; the detail endpoint returns
400for them. EnableincludePartialRecordsto keep them as name + ZIP stubs. entityTypeis derived from the name, not published by the registry. Treat it as a hint, not a fact.
Cost
$2 per 1 000 companies, plus a one-off $0.00005 for starting the run.
You pay only for records that land in the dataset — an empty or failed search costs you nothing.
A company whose detail page is unavailable is still billed if you enable includePartialRecords,
because you do receive a row for it; leave it off and you are not charged for those.

Notes
- Data comes straight from
comptroller.texas.gov;sourceUrlon every record lets you verify it. - No proxy is used, so there is no proxy cost passed on to you.
- The registry is updated continuously by the state;
statusDatetells you how fresh each record is.
