Jim, One thing to note about Texas, since you will be conducting business there, is that if your LLC is formed in another state, you will still need to pay the out of state fee to Texas. I haven`t researched NJ and PA specifically, but they likely have similar requirements. Also note that if your business engages in retail sales, you will need to register for a sales tax permit for all three states that your busienss partners are in, as you have a nexus there.
