UCC Forms

Coming Soon!  New UCC Filing System launches Sept. 1, 2025!

Get Ready for a Big Change

Starting September 1, 2025, the Office of the Texas Secretary of State (SOS) is making a change to how UCC filings are submitted. All UCC filings must be submitted through the new SOS Portal.

What's Changing:
  • No more paper filings. The SOS will stop accepting paper filings by mail, fax, or in person after August 29, 2025.
  • You must have a SOS Portal account to submit UCC filings. SOSDirect accounts can no longer be used for UCC after August 29, 2025.
How to Prepare:
  • Review the UCC How to Guide to learn how to file using the new system.
  • Join our live Training Webinar to see a live walkthrough of the new system functionality and ask questions.
  • Tuesday, August 26, 2025 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. CST. Email us for information on how to join the webinar.
