Every Texas LLC, Corporation, and Limited Partnership in active status must file an annual report. Foreign-qualified entities also file. Nonprofit Corporations file at a reduced fee. Sole proprietors and general partnerships do not file annual reports.
When it is due
LLCs: May 15 (Public Information Report + Franchise Tax) each year.
Corporations: May 15 (Public Information Report + Franchise Tax) each year.
What it costs
LLC fee: $0 (no separate AR fee; PIR required)
Corporation fee: $0 (Texas Franchise Tax: no tax if revenue under $2.47M; PIR still required)

What happens if you miss the deadline
Texas applies the late fee. After 120 days of delinquent franchise tax, the state administratively dissolves the entity. Reinstatement requires filing all back reports plus a reinstatement fee.
