How to Submit a Texas Certificate of Correction

Filling Out the Certificate of Correction

Entity Information

List the name of your company as it is registered with the Texas Secretary of State. List the file number that was issued by the SOS to your business when you formed your company.

Filing Instrument to Be Corrected

A “filing instrument” is simply a fancy term for the document that you filed with the Secretary of State. You must list which document you are trying to correct. For example, if there is an error on the Certificate of Formation for your Texas LLC or corporation, then you will list “Certificate of Formation” as well as the date that the form was originally submitted.

Identification of Errors and Corrections

You must indicate what error you are trying to correct. The following items can be altered by filing a Certificate of Correction:

• Entity Name
• Texas Registered Agent or Office
• Business Purpose
• Period of Duration
• Adding, Altering, Deleting Provisions
• Execution
• Entity Names for Merger, Conversion or Exchange

Please be sure to correctly fill-in the new information when making corrections, otherwise you will have to file yet another Certificate of Correction.
