Texas Nonprofit Organization

A Texas nonprofit corporation is created by filing a certificate of formation with the Texas Secretary of State in accordance with the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 22 of the Texas Business Organizations Code).

The Secretary of State provides a form for a certificate of formation which form meets minimum state law requirements [Form 202]. Online filing of articles of incorporation is provided through SOSDirect.

“Nonprofit corporation” means a corporation no part of the income of which is distributable to members, directors, or officers [Texas Business Organizations Code §22.001 (5)]. A nonprofit corporation may be created for any lawful purposes.

Not all nonprofit corporations are entitled to exemption from state or federal taxes. Corporations organized under the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Law DO NOT automatically qualify for exemption from federal and state taxes.

Before granting a tax exemption, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that the certificate of formation contain certain provisions. This form does not contain the provisions required by the IRS. If the corporation plans to seek federal tax exemption from the IRS, you may wish to obtain and review the sample language for these provisions contained in a publication called “Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization,” IRS Publication 557.

You may call the IRS at (800) 829-3676 for a copy of the publication or download the publication at the IRS Web site. Additional questions concerning exemption from federal income taxes should be directed to the IRS.

Nonprofit corporations also are subject to state franchise taxes. If the corporation qualifies to be exempt, an application for exemption must be made to the Exempt Organizations Section, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Austin, Texas 78774-0100, (512) 463-4600 or (800) 252-1381. TDD: (800) 248-4099 or (512) 463-4621.

A Stock Certificate is a printed document which states the name, incorporation state, and date of incorporation, the registered number of the certificate, the number of shares of stock in a corporation the certificate represents, the name of the shareholder, the date of issuance, and the number of shares authorized in the particular issue of stock, signed by the President and Secretary of the corporation. On the reverse side of the certificate is a form for transfer of the stock certificate to another person. After transfer the new owner should register the change of ownership with the corporation. In corporate law, a stock certificate is a legal document that certifies ownership of a specific number of stock shares in a corporation. In large corporations, buying shares does not always lead to a stock certificate.
