In most states, the process is incredibly easy and just takes a couple of Google searches (look for the Department of State or Secretary of State).

I simply respond that they can serve my company at the address of record with the secretary of state if they feel they have a legal claim but I won't be having any discussion with them regarding any supposed call made, then hang up.

Then, call and tell the attorney (or secretary) in about 20 words or less why you want to come in for a meeting (eg.  

This is why the Treasury Secretary and President keep talking about Employers keeping EMPLOYEES on the payroll.SCHEDULE F (Farmers) are the responsibility of the Dept of Agriculture.

What I'm not sure about is whether or not we are required to file with the Texas Secretary of State.  

I was wondering if it makes sense when I could go on the Secretary of State's website and create the LLC myself, for much less.Here are the steps involved as I understand them.1.

You should consult an attorney or CPA for your specific situation.ANONYMITY: When you create the LLC, your name is recorded on the documents and published on the Secretary of State website for all to see.

I'd start with making it official by opening up an LLC with your secretary of state- you'd have to do that in order to get a business account anyhow. 

They usually have a secretary who answers their calls so if you are not getting an answer at all, you may have the wrong number.edit: is he also a reservist?

(I'll have to fire my secretary now... haha)
