Commentary

A domestic filing entity and a foreign filing entity registered to do business in Texas are required to continuously maintain a registered agent and a registered office address in Texas. A registered agent must be: 1) an individual resident of Texas; or 2) an organization, other than the organization to be represented, that is registered or authorized to do business in Texas. The registered office address must be located at a street address where service of process may be personally served on the entity's registered agent during normal business hours. Although the registered office is not required to be the entity's principal place of business, the registered office address may not be solely the address of a company that provides mailbox services or telephone answering service (BOC § 5.201).

House Bill 1787, effective January 1, 2010, amended subchapter E of chapter 5 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) to establish the requirement that a person appointed or named as an entity's registered agent must have consented, in a written or electronic form, to serve in that capacity.

Consent: The appointment of a person as registered agent by an organizer or managerial official of an entity is an affirmation by the organizer or managerial official that the person has consented to serve in the capacity of registered agent. In addition, before the sale, acquisition, or transfer of a majority-ininterest or majority interest of the outstanding ownership or membership interests of a represented entity, the governing authority of the entity must verify whether the person named as the registered agent of the entity prior to the sale, acquisition, or transfer has consented to continue to serve the represented entity in that capacity.

Form: Section 5.201(b) requires that a person who is to be named as the registered agent of a represented entity in a registered agent filing must consent, in a written or electronic form, to serve in that capacity. A registered agent filing is defined by section 5.200(1) and includes any filing instrument that designates or appoints a registered agent or that effects a change or correction to the registered agent such as a certificate of formation, certificate of amendment, or statement of change of registered agent.

Section 5.201(b) also requires the secretary of state to develop the form of the consent. The consent of a registered agent need not be on a prescribed form or contain all the statements found on the attached promulgated form; however, a written or electronic consent to serve as registered agent should contain:

a. the name of the represented entity;
b. an express statement that the person designated consents to serve as the entity's registered agent;
c. the name of the person designated as registered agent;
d. the signature of the registered agent; and
e. the date of execution.

Execution of Consent: If the person named as registered agent is an individual, the individual designated must sign the consent. If the person named as registered agent is not an individual, the consent would be signed by an individual authorized to accept the appointment as registered agent on behalf of the organization named as registered agent.

Filing Not Required: The signed consent of the registered agent should be sent to and retained by the represented entity.

Unless otherwise required by the provisions of the BOC or other law applicable to the represented entity, the consent of the registered agent is not required to be submitted or included as part of a registered agent filing. However, a registered agent filing that includes the written consent of the person designated will be retained in the records of the secretary of state as part of the document.

Permissive Filing: A consent of registered agent that is submitted separately for purposes of filing with the secretary of state will be indexed in the filing history of the represented entity if the consent is accompanied by the fee imposed under chapter 4 of the BOC for the filing of an instrument for which a fee is not expressly provided. The fee is $15, unless the consent is submitted on behalf of a nonprofit corporation or cooperative association. The fee for a nonprofit corporation or cooperative association is $5. The consent may be mailed to P.O. Box 13697, Austin, Texas 78711-3697; faxed to (512) 463- 5709; or delivered to the James Earl Rudder Office Building, 1019 Brazos, Austin, Texas 78701.

Rejection of Appointment: A person who has been named as the registered agent of an entity without the person's consent is not required to perform the duties of a registered agent (BOC § 5.206). In addition, a person who has been designated as a registered agent without the person's consent may file a rejection of the appointment with the secretary of state. On filing, the rejection of appointment will terminate the appointment of the registered agent and registered office. Failure to appoint or maintain a registered agent and registered office may result in the involuntary termination of a domestic filing entity or the revocation of a foreign filing entity's registration to transact business in Texas.

Changes by a Registered Agent: A registered agent that changes its name or that changes its address as the address of the entity's registered office should notify the represented entity of the change and file a statement of change with the secretary of state. (Form 408)

A person may resign as the registered agent of an entity by providing notice to the represented entity and the secretary of state. Notice to the secretary of state must be given before the 11ihday after the date notice is given to the entity. On compliance with the notice requirements, the appointment of the registered agent and registered office terminate. However, this termination is not effective until the 31st day after the date the secretary of state receives notice (BOC § 5.204(d)).

Changes by a Represented Entity: The failure of a domestic or foreign filing entity to maintain a registered agent and registered office address in Texas may result in the involuntary termination of the domestic filing entity or in the revocation of the foreign entity's registration. Therefore, it is important that an entity file a statement of change of registered agent and/or registered office (Form 401) with the secretary of state to appoint a new registered agent when the person named as registered agent will no longer serve in that capacity or when the registered office address of the entity changes.

False or Fraudulent Filings: Please note that the liabilities and penalties imposed by sections 4.007 and 4.008 of the BOC apply with respect to a false statement in a filing instrument that designates and appoints a person as the registered agent of an entity without that person's consent (BOC § 5.207).

A person commits an offense under section 4.008 of the BOC if the person signs or directs the filing of a filing instrument the person knows is materially false with the intent that the instrument be delivered to the secretary of state for filing. The offense is a Class A misdemeanor unless the person's intent is to harm or defraud another, in which case the offense is a state jail felony.
