Commentary

A corporation may convert into a limited liability company by adopting a plan of conversion in accordance with section 10.101 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) and filing a certificate of conversion with the secretary of state in accordance with sections 10.154 and 10.155 of the BOC. As defined in section 1.002 of the BOC, “conversion” means the continuance of a Texas entity as a foreign entity of any type, the continuance of a foreign entity as a Texas entity of any type, or the continuance of a Texas entity of one type as a Texas entity of another type.

Purpose of Form: As used in the BOC and in this form, “converting entity means the entity that existed before the conversion; “converted entity means the entity resulting from a conversion. This form may be used when a domestic for-profit or professional corporation is the converting entity and a domestic or foreign limited liability company will be the converted entity.

Registration of Converted Foreign Entity: A converted foreign limited liability company must separately register under chapter 9 of the BOC in order to transact business in Texas.

Important: Not all jurisdictions permit conversions. For a cross-jurisdiction conversion to be effective, the law of both jurisdictions must permit the transaction and be followed. This document provides information about the Texas requirements; the entity’s governing documents and the law of the other jurisdiction must also be consulted. If the jurisdiction of formation of the converting entity permits the conversion, additional filings may be required there.
