Brooks,
It really depends on whether you use any trade name for your business. If you run it under your name then you don't need a DBA, but if you chose a trade name (also called fictitious name) then you might want to register it with the appropriate authorities. Keep in mind, a few states have no DBA filing filing options at all.
