The address listed for the Registered Agent is referred to
as the “registered office.” The
registered office need not be a place of business for the entity. Generally speaking, the registered agent must
be capable of being served at the registered office. For organizations serving as the registered
agent, Texas law states explicitly that there must be an employee on hand
during normal business hours in order to receive any process, notice or demand
that is sent to the organization. While
the statute does not impose the same explicit requirements on a person serving
as the registered agent, Texas law nevertheless imposes a general requirement
that the registered office be a “street address where process may be personally
served on the registered agent” (See Texas Business Organizations Code Section
5.201(c)(1)).
