Compliance clock

Texas charitable solicitation registration
Texas requires registration of some charities only. Only law enforcement related organizations that solicit by telephone register with the Attorney General, and certain public safety and veterans organizations register with the Secretary of State.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.
Filing history
When each return reached the IRS
