We have written previously about the effects that ongoing litigation in Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Garland, has had on the reporting requirements established by the Corporate Transparency Act. For more information on the CTA and Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements check out this post. For other blogs related to Texas Top Cop look here.
As the situation changes, and rather than continue to post blog after blog on the current status of the BOI reporting requirements, all updates will live on this post for now. As we endeavor to provide updates as soon as possible in one central location, please be aware that there may be delays. If you would like our office to file the BOI on behalf of your business, please contact our office.
