Houston's Trusted Business Valuation Firm
Houston is the energy capital of the world - home to 4,600+ energy firms, the Texas Medical Center, NASA's Johnson Space Center, and the busiest US port by foreign tonnage. This concentration of specialized industries creates valuation demands well beyond what generalist firms can handle: reserve-based oil and gas valuations, healthcare enterprise appraisals, aerospace going-concern analyses, and logistics M&A support.
At TXN Capital LLC, we deliver certified, data-driven business valuation services to Houston companies needing credible, defensible, and audit-ready reports. Whether you're an energy executive preparing for a sale, a physician group seeking SBA financing, an aerospace supplier pursuing acquisition, or a family-owned oilfield services business planning succession - our globally credentialed team brings the industry depth your engagement demands.
Every valuation report is prepared in full compliance with USPAP, IVS, and AICPA standards - trusted by energy sector auditors, the IRS, Texas courts, and institutional investors.

Why Houston Businesses Need a Specialized Valuation Firm
Houston's valuation environment is defined by its concentrated reliance on energy-sector economics, a healthcare industry of extraordinary scale, a Texas tax environment with no state income tax but a meaningful franchise tax, and a commercial real estate market that moves in lockstep with oil prices. These dynamics produce valuation challenges that require specialized knowledge - not generic national methodologies.
What Makes Houston Valuation Different:
- Oil and gas company valuations require specialized reserve-based approaches - including PV10 (Present Value of Proved Reserves) and NAV-based models - that go far beyond standard income or market-based methods. A generalist valuation firm without direct energy sector experience cannot produce a defensible oil and gas valuation.
- The Texas franchise tax - applied to taxable margin rather than net income - requires specific normalization adjustments in earnings-based valuations for Houston businesses, particularly given that Texas has no state corporate or personal income tax.
- The Texas Medical Center's presence drives an enormous volume of healthcare valuation work - physician practice acquisitions, hospital system M&A, medical device company fundraising, and regulatory compliance valuations - all requiring deep knowledge of healthcare-specific metrics such as EBITDA multiples by specialty.
- Houston's energy market cycles create significant volatility in business asset values, particularly for oilfield services companies, midstream operators, and energy-adjacent real estate. Valuations must account for commodity price assumptions and reserve depletion schedules in ways that standard approaches do not address.
- The Port of Houston generates constant M&A and financing activity in logistics, distribution, and import/export businesses - requiring market-comparable and income-based valuations grounded in Gulf Coast and global trade benchmarks.
At TXN Capital LLC, our Houston valuations incorporate Texas franchise tax normalization, energy sector reserve-based methodologies, Texas Medical Center healthcare benchmarks, and Gulf Coast M&A transaction data - not generic national proxies.
