I filed a DBA with legal CPU, and more than a month later the thing is apparently still at the county. Multiple phone calls get me the exact same "end of the week" time estimate, and I'm beginning to suspect that the DBA was never filed at all.in the meantime, I filed for an LLC directly from the state of Texas website and had my incorporation papers in about two hours.
Additionally, filing a DBA in my state turned out to only involve filling out the forms and getting them notarized, which LegalCPU had me do anyway. I walked in to the situation assuming it would be as big a hassle as it was in California (you have to place a newspaper ad there among other things), and ended up hiring a company of questionable repute to do something I could have handled in an afternoon.
Long story short... Do the research and don't just depend on the info on the website. Often times you'll do all the work anyway, and you just loop in other people to help you screw it up.
