I have a LLC & est. a DBA under the LLC. Just found out recently that another LLC has the same name as the DBA. What to do?

Asked almost 3 years ago - Houston, TX

Business

I established a LLC in 2007. In 2008 I added a DBA (with a different name, but same tax id) to the existing LLC. I added the name which is very similar to the old name (only removed one word) mainly due to problems with former partner and our LLC's having similar names. Recently found a new company was using the same name as my DBA, and they are supposedly a LLC.

Do I have any recourse or did I use the wrong methods in trying to secure the separate name (DBA)?

You do have recourse. You need an attorney. I do not want to attempt to explain the details because it is too complex.

My standard disclaimer: I am not offering legal advice, assume I do
not know the law in your state or at all for that matter and that I am
just making suggestions for starting points for when you do speak with
an attorney. Do NOT rely on anything I write and contact a lawyer in
your area immediately after reading my posting.
