What Happens After Your LLC Is Filed? The Management Training Session
Filing the Certificate of Formation creates your LLC. This is a very small part of the overall picture; It doesn’t show you how to run and manage the company so its liability protection holds up. After every formation, we meet one-on-one by phone and go through exactly what you need to do next.
Review all LLC documents
We walk through your Operating Agreement, Buy-Sell Agreement and draft governance documents: what each one says, how they work together, and what they mean for everyday decisions and long-term liability protection.
How your LLC functions
Who can sign contracts, how decisions get made, how money moves in and out of the company, and how members are added or leave.
Your obligations
The annual Public Information Report and franchise tax, your registered agent, the records to keep, and when your documents need to be updated.
Keeping your liability protection
The habits that keep the LLC separate from you: separate accounts, signing as the company, and documenting major decisions. Run your company like a Fortune 500, no matter the size.

Management Training Session
The real nitty-gritty: we go through your documents, how the company runs, your obligations, and how to keep your liability protection.
Forming a Texas LLC Is Easy. Maintaining It Is What Matters.
Here’s what I tell every San Antonio business owner I work with: filing a Certificate of Formation with the Texas Secretary of State doesn’t, on its own, protect your personal assets. An LLC isn’t just a certificate. It’s a company, and if you don’t run it like one, you risk losing the liability protection you formed it for.

San Antonio LLC Formation FAQs
How much does it cost to form an LLC in San Antonio with Attorney Nate Gilbert?
$1,100 flat for an LLC, plus the $300 Texas state filing fee. A PLLC is $1,200 and a Series LLC is $1,500, each plus the same $300 filing fee.
How long does it take to form an LLC in Texas?
I’ve completed them in as little as 2 days, and most are done within a week. The part I can’t control is Texas Secretary of State processing time, which varies.
What is the Management Training Session?
A one-on-one session after your LLC is filed. We go through your documents, how the company runs, your ongoing obligations, and the habits that keep your liability protection in place. It’s included in the flat fee, and it can be absolutely vital to understanding how to keep your liability protection in place.
Do I need a registered agent for my Texas LLC?
Yes. Every Texas LLC must name a registered agent with a physical address in Texas. The agent must consent to serve and be available at that Texas street address during normal business hours to accept legal papers. A P.O. box, or a vacation home or rental where no one is there, won’t work.
Does forming an LLC fully protect my personal assets?
Not by itself. An LLC separates business debts from your personal assets, but you can still be liable for your own conduct, for debts you personally guarantee, and in limited cases where a court disregards the LLC, or pierces the corporate veil. The Management Training Session covers the habits that keep that separation in place.
Is a Texas LLC recognized in other states?
Yes, but doing business in another state usually means registering there as a foreign LLC.
I already run my business as a sole proprietor. What changes?
Forming an LLC creates a new legal entity. You’ll typically need a new EIN, a bank account in the LLC’s name, and to move contracts, licenses and accounts into the name of your new Texas LLC.
What’s the difference between an LLC and a corporation?
LLCs are typically smaller and less complex, while corporations require much larger time and monetary commitments right out of the gate. Read the full comparison.
These answers are general information about Texas law, not legal advice for your situation.
