What is SOS Filing Number Texas
SOS filing number is a unique identification number assigned to each business entity in Texas. Every company, corporation, partnership, LLC, etc., must have a unique SOS filing number. The SOS filing number helps to identify the owner of the business and its registered agent. A business may use a different name than the legal name of the business. In addition, a business may change ownership without changing the name of the business. Therefore, the SOS filing number is necessary to help determine who owns what business.
The SOS filing number consists of three parts:
• A prefix (the first two letters)
• An area code (the last four digits)
• A suffix (last six digits).
For example, if a business was incorporated under the name “ABC Company”, then the SOS filing number would look like this: ABC-1234567890123456.
If a business changed its name to XYZ Corporation, then the SOS filing numbers would look like this: XYZ-123456789012.
In order to obtain a valid SOS filing number, a business must file an application with the Secretary of State’s office. The application should be filed at least 30 days before the date the business begins operating. If the business does not begin operating until after the deadline, then the business must file an amended application.
Businesses that operate out of state must register their businesses in the state where they conduct business. However, if a business operates only in Texas, then it is not necessary to register the business in any other state.

Is the SOS number and entity number the same
The SOS number (Service Ordering System) is a unique identifier assigned to each product sold by a company. The entity number is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to identify each unit of a specific product.
For example, if I have a bottle of water labeled “SOS #12345” and it comes from a particular factory, then the entity number would be 12345. If I buy two bottles of water at different times from the same factory, they would have the same entity number, 12345. However, if I bought them from two different factories, they would have other entity numbers.
