Instructions For Form 707 - Amendment To Appointment Of Statutory Agent - Texas Secretary Of State

ADVERTISEMENT

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
The name of the entity in item 2 should be the name that appears on the statement that
has been filed in the office of the secretary of state. If the statement to be changed is the
name of the entity, the name in item 2 should be the name as it currently appears on the
records of the secretary of state rather than the name as changed. The new name of the
entity would appear in the appropriate space in item 4.
2.
If a change is to be made to the name or address of the person appointed as the entity’s
agent for service of process, please provide both the name AND address of the
appointed agent. This allows the appointed agent to verify the accuracy and correctness
of the agent's street address for service of process purposes. NOTE: The address of the
entity’s agent must include a street address; an address consisting of only a post office
box is insufficient. In addition, an entity may not serve as its own appointed agent, nor
may the secretary of state be designated as the entity’s appointed agent.
3.
If the entity is a Texas financial institution or a defense base development authority, the
amendment must be signed by an authorized officer of the entity. If the entity is an
unincorporated nonprofit association, the amendment must be signed by a person
authorized to manage the affairs of the nonprofit association, or if the person is a
corporation or other legal entity, by an officer or other duly authorized representative
of the corporation or other legal entity. If the amendment changes the appointed agent
or the appointed agent's address, the amendment also must also be signed by the
person named as the entity’s appointed agent. The amendment need not be signed by
the person withdrawn as an entity’s appointed agent.
4.
The filing fee for an amendment filed by a Texas financial institution or an
unincorporated nonprofit association is $5. No fee is assessed for a filing by a defense
base development authority. Personal checks and MasterCard®, Visa®, and Discover®
are accepted in payment of the filing fee. A check or money order must be payable
through a U.S. bank or other financial institution and made payable to the secretary of
state. Fees paid by credit card are subject to a statutorily authorized processing cost of
2.1% of the total fees.
5.
