Although the majority of securities-related filings with the Texas State Securities Board use an electronic platform such as Blue Express and the EFD system, in some instances filers mail paper filings and submit fees directly to our office.
Examples of some types of paper filings received by our Agency are:
- Initial/Amendment/Renewal for fully registered securities offerings
- Over sales for any type of offering
- Reg A Tier 2 offerings
- 5.O – Secondary Trading Exemption
- Rules and Exemption Filings (Texas specific)
- 139.14 – Non-Issuer Sales
- 139.16 – Sales to Individual Accredited Investors
- 139.19 – Accredited Investor Exemption
- 139.26 – Crowdfunding Exemption
- 109.13(l) – Intrastate limited offering exemption
Securities filers now have the option to make any of these filings by submitting a scan of the original document to be filed using the following email address: securitiesfilings@ssb.texas.gov. You will receive an acknowledgment of the electronic filing within a few business days. To avoid confusion in processing, please do not submit a duplicate paper filing.
Please be aware that related fees will still need to be mailed. Information to be included with the fee is set out in the instructions provided below.
Your filing will be considered “Received” when all correct fees and forms have been received by our office. Currently, if you ONLY mail in your paper filings, there may be temporary delays.
