Results typically include the entity's legal name, filing number, status (active, inactive, or forfeited), formation date, and registered agent information. Each listing links to a detail page with additional data such as the entity's registered address and management structure. Keep in mind that an individual may be associated with multiple entities or may not appear if they hold an informal business role. ## Checking Travis County Records Since Austin is the county seat of Travis County, the Travis County Clerk's office is another essential resource. The clerk maintains records of assumed name certificates (also known as DBA filings), which are required when someone operates a business under a name other than their legal name. You can search these records online through the Travis County Clerk's website or visit the office in person. Additionally, Travis County property records and court records may provide supplementary information about business-related transactions or legal filings involving Patrick Anthony Russo. These records are generally accessible to the public either online or through formal records requests.
## Using the City of Austin's Resources The City of Austin requires certain businesses to obtain permits and licenses depending on the type of operation. While the city does not maintain a single comprehensive business directory, you can check with specific departments such as Austin Code or the Development Services Department for permit records. These searches can confirm whether a business associated with a particular individual has obtained the necessary local authorizations. ## Searching Obituary and Public Record Databases If you are trying to verify whether Patrick Anthony Russo is still active in business or confirm biographical details, obituary databases can provide relevant information. Many funeral home and memorial websites maintain an All Obituaries page with a partial or full name search function. Listings can typically be browsed by month or filtered by the first letter of the last name, making it straightforward to locate a specific individual.
Individual obituary pages can contain service information, tribute options, and links to send flowers. However, availability of older records is not guaranteed, so if you are searching for historical information, you may need to check multiple sources or contact the funeral home directly. ## Additional Verification Methods Beyond government databases, several other approaches can help verify business records: ### Secretary of State Filings
Texas business entities file their formation documents with the Secretary of State's office, which falls under the Comptroller's jurisdiction for search purposes. Annual franchise tax filings and public information reports can confirm whether a business remains in good standing. ### Professional Licensing Boards If Patrick Anthony Russo holds a professional license in Texas, the relevant state licensing board will have public records. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and other specialized boards maintain searchable databases where you can verify credentials and disciplinary history. ### Federal Resources
For businesses with federal tax obligations or specific industry registrations, the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search and the SEC's EDGAR database can provide additional verification. These are particularly useful for nonprofits or securities-related businesses. ## Tips for an Effective Search When searching for business records tied to a specific person, try multiple name variations. Use "Patrick Russo," "Patrick A. Russo," and "Patrick Anthony Russo" to ensure comprehensive results. Business records sometimes abbreviate middle names or omit them entirely. Cross-reference information across multiple databases to confirm accuracy. A business listed with the state may not have a corresponding city permit, or vice versa, depending on the nature of the operation. Combining state, county, and city records gives you the most complete picture.
If online searches do not yield the results you need, consider visiting the Travis County Clerk's office or contacting the Texas Comptroller's office directly. Staff members can assist with searches that may not be fully accessible through online portals, especially for older or archived records.
