“My Texas LLC's registration was forfeited with a Form 05-213 notice, what are the exact steps to reinstate my business with both the Comptroller and Secretary of State?”

A Texas LLC forfeiture tied to a Form 05-213 notice often involves both tax compliance and entity status restoration, so the answer usually depends on what triggered the forfeiture, whether franchise tax reports or related filings are still outstanding, and whether the Comptroller has cleared the account before the Secretary of State can update the entity record. In many cases, the reinstatement process also depends on whether the LLC remains in good standing on other state filings, any penalties or missing returns, and how the state agencies coordinate their records after the forfeiture is resolved. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
