Search for Assumed Names
Rockwall County Clerk Shelli Miller is committed to making historical records accessible to the public. We now offer a new and more efficient way of searching the Official Public Records for verification that the assumed name is not already in use.
Fees
The filing fee is $24.00 and .50 for each owner(s) name.
WALK IN - Complete form; all owners must be present with valid government issued ID in order to have the form recorded.
MAIL IN - Submit completed and notarized Assumed Name form along with payment.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to search the assumed name records in the county in which business is to be conducted to ensure no other business has the same name. Rockwall County records can be searched online or in person on our public terminals.
The County Clerk’s office does not research the use of the name before filing.
The County Clerk's staff does not provide legal advice or opinions. You may obtain more information about assumed names from the Texas Business and Commerce Code. For assumed name filing FAQ's, please refer to the Texas Secretary of State.
