Texas Foreign For Profit Corporation
Foreign For Profit Corporation Name
-
Provide the full legal name of the corporation as stated in the
corporation's formation document. Article 8.03 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (TBCA) and the
secretary of state’s name availability rules provide that a corporate name cannot be the same as, or
deceptively similar to, the name of any domestic or foreign corporation, limited partnership, limited
liability company, or any name reservation or registration filed with the secretary of state. Therefore, the
foreign corporation's name will be checked for availability upon submission of the application. If the
name of the entity is the same as or deceptively similar to, or similar to the name of an existing
corporation, limited partnership, or limited liability company, name reservation or name registration the
document cannot be filed. The administrative rules adopted for determining entity name availability
(Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Part 4, Chapter 79, Subchapter C) may be viewed at the secretary
of state web site at www.sos.state.tx.us/tac/index.html. If you wish the secretary of state to provide a
preliminary determination on “name availability,” you may call (512) 463-5555 or e-mail your name
inquiry to corpinfo@sos.state.tx.us. A final determination cannot be made until the document is
received and processed by the secretary of state.
Effective Date: Pursuant to Article 10.03 of the Texas Business Corporation Act, the
effectiveness of the application for certificate of authority may be delayed as of a date not more than
ninety (90) days from the date of filing with the secretary of state. Please note that upon the filing of a
document with a delayed effective date, the computer records of the secretary of state will be changed to
show the filing of the document, the date of the filing, and the future date on which the document will be
effective. In addition, at the time of such filing, the status of the entity will be shown as active on the
records of the secretary of state.

the following information
-
Corporate Legal Name
-
Corporate Fictitious Name
-
Federal Employer Identification Number: Enter the corporation’s federal employer
identification number (FEIN) in the space provided. The FEIN is a 9-digit number (e.g., 12-3456789)
that is issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If the corporation has not received its FEIN at the
time of submission, you may note this on the application form. Provision of the FEIN number at the
time of submission will assist in the establishment of the corporation’s tax account with the Comptroller
of Public Accounts.
-
Principal Office Address: Provide the corporation's principal office address in the
jurisdiction of incorporation. If the corporation is incorporated in Delaware, for example, the address
shown must be in Delaware, even though the corporation's principal place of business may be located
elsewhere. If the corporation does not maintain an office in the state of incorporation, then provide the
business office address of the registered agent maintained in the state/country of incorporation.
-
Registered Agent and Registered Office: The corporation cannot act as its
own registered agent: do not enter the corporate name as the name of the registered agent.
-
Purpose: The purpose or purposes that the corporation proposes to pursue in Texas
should be entered in the space provided. You may use general language, such as "transaction of all
lawful business"; however, it is not acceptable to use "transaction of all lawful business permitted under
the laws of [another state]." Other state laws may permit corporations to pursue purposes not authorized
by Texas law, and a foreign corporation can have no greater rights or privileges than a domestic
corporation.
-
Directors and Officers: Provide the name and address of each director and
officer of the corporation. If the space provided is not sufficient, you may include an attachment to the
application form. When providing officer information, please provide the officer title/position held.
-
Certification of Entity Status: By signing the application for certificate of authority,
the authorized officer is certifying that the corporation currently exists as a valid corporation under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Please note that the submission of a false or fraudulent
document to the secretary of state is a Class A misdemeanor.
