The Big Lake EDC wants to celebrate all Small Businesses located in our community. May 3 – 9, 2026, is recognized as Small Business Week in Texas! Small businesses play a vital role in establishing and maintaining the economy, not just in Big Lake, but nationwide. Small businesses are the mighty enterprises that continue to drive innovation, job creation and economic optimism across the State of Texas and beyond. They shape the character of our community and power our economy.
“The momentum is undeniable. In 2025 alone, Texas entrepreneurs filed nearly 540,000 new business applications, and the total number of business entities has nearly doubled over the past decade. Today, 99.8% of all businesses in Texas are small businesses and they employ nearly half of the state's workforce, powering job growth across a multitude of diverse industries. Texas' small businesses are also making a global impact, accounting for more than 92% of the state's exporters and helping Texas maintain its position as the nation's top exporting state.” (Governor Greg Abbott)
The Big Lake EDC will continue to be viable source of information and assistance for all of our small businesses, entrepreneurs, owners, and dreamers. We strive to make Big Lake, Tx, a stronger and more resilient place to live, work and play. If we can ever be of any assistance, please reach out to us. As we learn and grow together, we will continue to always look for ways “to make it work!”. Working together, we can make “Big Lake Stronger”!
Celebrate “Small Business Week” in Texas! Be local; Shop local; Buy local!

Big news for Texas and especially for our West Texas community! Faster business filings are now available with same-day and next-day options. If you've been thinking about starting something Texas just made it easier now's the time!

AUSTIN — The Office of the Texas Secretary of State today announced the expansion of Texas Express, the agency’s expedited business filing service, to include business formations and other registration services. The new offerings build on the successful launch of Texas Express in 2025, which provides same-day and next-day service for business filings.
“The ability to act quickly, especially when starting a business, can lay the groundwork for success,” said Secretary of State Jane Nelson. “Our office has created options for entrepreneurs and investors who are ready to start doing business today.”
The expansion of Texas Express comes at a time when Texas has a record-breaking number of active businesses, more than 3 million, and more businesses are choosing to incorporate in Texas.
“Formally creating a business is the first step often necessary before applying for financing, securing office space, or making the first hire,” said Secretary Nelson. “We are offering the option for Texas businesses to file as quickly as possible so they can get on with the business of business.”
The expansion reflects the agency’s commitment to streamlining operations, increasing transparency, and reducing administrative burdens for Texans who rely on timely and accurate business services.
“Whether you are a Fortune 100 company or a first-time entrepreneur, my commitment is the same: to provide quality service, efficient processing and clear communication,” said Secretary Nelson. “These new expedited filing options are part of a broader effort to modernize our operations and give Texas businesses the tools they need to succeed.”
These new services follow the launch of Texas Express last fall. At that time the Secretary’s office offered the express service for services such as certificates of conversion, certificate of mergers, for all entities and amendments, restated formations, and certificates of validations for domestic entities.
Services now available for same-day and next-day service:
• Business formations
• Certificate of Formation
• Out of state registrations
• Amended Registrations
• Reinstatements
Same-Day Service
• Filings received by 12:00 p.m. will be processed by close of business the same day.
• $750 per document plus document plus the document filing fee
Next-Day Service
• Filings received by 12:00 p.m. will be processed by close of business the next business day.
• $500 per document plus document filing fee
Same-Day and Next-Day transactions must occur in person. The agency’s office is located at 400 W. 15th Street, Austin, Texas 78701. Email representatives at [email protected] to let staff know when to expect your agent or courier. The use of preclearance review is strongly advised.

Damage has been done, and we are currently assessing the situation. This includes property damage to our landscaping and fixtures, which will require time and resources to repair.

We take pride in maintaining our space for the community, and it’s disappointing to see it treated this way. If anyone has information about how this happened or who may be responsible, please reach out.

We appreciate your support and patience as we work to restore everything back to normal.
