Form 407--General Information (Amendment to Registration for a Foreign Limited Liability Partnership)
The attached form is drafted to meet minimal statutory filing requirements pursuant to the relevant code provisions. This form and the information provided are not substitutes for the advice and services of an attorney and tax specialist.

Commentary This form has been promulgated to comply with the provisions of the Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) as well as prior law regarding amendments to registration of foreign limited liability partnerships filed with the secretary of state. There are few differences in the filing of the amendment to a foreign limited liability partnership registration under prior law and under the BOC. Consequently, instructions for the form only make statutory references to the BOC. Section 152.912 of the BOC provides for amendment to the application for registration of a foreign limited liability partnership. The registration is not affected by and does not need to be amended to reflect subsequent changes in the partners of the partnership. However, an amendment should be filed to disclose additional partners transacting business in Texas or to evidence a change of name of the partnership. Instructions for Form

Entity Information: The amendment to registration must contain the legal name of the partnership, its federal employer identification number, an identification of the document being amended, and a reference to the date the document being amended was filed. It is recommended that the date the original application for registration and the file number assigned by the secretary of state be provided to facilitate processing of the document. Amendments to Application: Complete section A to effect a change to the legal name of the partnership as amended in its jurisdiction of formation. Complete section B to add a federal employer identification number or to change that number. Complete section C to change the principal office address. Complete section D to change the registered agent and/or the address of the registered office. Complete section E to effect a change in the business or activity stated in its original application for registration or any amended or renewed registrations. Complete section F to effect an increase in the number of partners stated on the original application or any amended or renewed registrations. The term "partners" refers to general partners only in a limited partnership registering as a foreign limited liability partnership (BOC § 153.352). The filing fee will be calculated by multiplying the increase in the number of partners enumerated in the amendment to registration by $200 per partner, but not to exceed $750.
