Professionals in the state of Texas who are licensed by the State of Texas to perform their professional services, may form Professional Limited Liability Companies.


PLLC vs LLC TexasProfessional Limited Liability Companies are entity structures reserved for those individuals meeting certain criteria in Texas.  Specifically, PLLCs may only be formed by those individuals fully qualified as “an individual who is licensed to provide by this state or another jurisdiction the same professional service as is rendered by that professional entity.”
