Expanding your business through franchising in Texas can be an exciting step—but it’s one that requires careful legal planning and compliance with state and federal laws. At The Franchise Firm, we provide full-service legal counsel to franchisors and franchisees across Texas. From franchise exemption filings to contract negotiations and conflict resolution, our team ensures your business is protected every step of the way—with clarity, confidence, and flat-fee pricing you can trust.
Texas is not a franchise registration state, but it does enforce strict requirements under its Business Opportunity Act. If you’re offering franchises in Texas, you’ll need to file a Business Opportunity Exemption Notice—a one-time filing that establishes your exemption status and allows you to operate legally without full registration.
Our firm handles these filings with precision, while also providing federal FDD compliance, agreement drafting, and dispute support. Texas business owners trust The Franchise Firm because of our focused franchise law experience, clear communication, and dedication to flat-fee services with no surprises.
We draft and register FDDs that meet all California and FTC guidelines, enabling franchisors to legally market and sell franchises in the state.
We help you build a franchise model that complies with all legal requirements while positioning your business for long-term growth and scalability.
We assist with registering trademarks, drafting licensing agreements, and protecting your intellectual property rights under California and federal law.
We help franchise buyers understand every element of the FDD, including financial terms, obligations, and red flags, before making a commitment.
