Electronic Core Data Form (e-CDF): How to Make STEERS Changes Online

You now have the option to submit select changes to your core data through STEERS using the e-CDF, providing a more convenient and efficient way to manage information.

What is e-CDF?

The Electronic Core Data Form (e-CDF) is an online tool that streamlines the process of submitting certain changes related to permits, forms, and other regulatory needs in STEERS. As e-CDF expands, it will provide even more options for managing submissions.

What changes can I make?

If you currently have a Customer Number and Regulated Entity Number, you may submit the following changes through STEERS using e-CDF:

Customer Changes:

ADD OR UPDATE LOCAL TAX ID
ADD OR UDPATE TX STATE TAX IDS
ADD TX SOS FILING NUMBER
UPDATE CUSTOMER MAILING ADDRESS
UPDATE LEGAL NAME
UPDATE OTHER CUSTOMER INFORMATION (NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR INDEPENDENDTLY OWNED/OPERATED)

NOTE: Customer Numbers are defined by the Texas Secretary of State filing number, which means that if a new Texas Secretary of State filing number is issued (including changing the federal tax ID, state franchise tax ID, etc.), then a new Customer Number will need to be created, and a Change of Ownership may be required. The e-CDF cannot be used for this.

Regulated Entity Changes:

UPDATE PRIMARY BUSINESS (REGULATED ENTITY)
UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY ADDRESS
UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY MAILING ADDRESS
UPDATE REGULATED ENTITY NAME
UPDATE SIC/NAICS CODE (REGULATED ENTITY)

What changes can I NOT Make?

If you need to update or create any permit or registration—or create a new Regulated Entity or Customer Number—you must reach out to a TCEQ program for further assistance.

Use the Agency Directory to find the correct program to contact.
