Form 707—General Information
(Amendment to Appointment of Statutory Agent)
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 other applicable law regarding amendments to an appointment of a statutory
agent authorized to receive service of process on behalf of a Texas financial institution under section
201.103 of the Texas Finance Code, an unincorporated nonprofit association under section 252.011 of
the Texas Business Organizations Code, and a defense base development authority under section
379B.004(b) of the Texas Local Government Code.
Consent: Effective January 1, 2010, a person designated as the registered agent of an entity must have
consented, either in a written or electronic form, to serve as the registered agent of the entity. By
signing this statement, the person designated as agent is accepting the appointment and consenting to
serve as an agent to receive services of process on behalf of the entity. 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 names a person as the registered agent of an entity without that person’s consent. (BOC
§ 5.207)
Instructions for Form
Items 1–4—Entity Information: The amendment must state the name of the entity, the file number
assigned to the entity by the secretary of state, the type of entity, and the statute under which the
appointment was made.
Item 5—Agent Authorized to Receive Service of Process: Complete this section if the name or
address of the person authorized to serve as the agent for service of process has changed. The agent
can be either (option A) a Texas entity or a foreign entity that is registered to do business in Texas or
(option B) an individual resident of the state. Note that the entity may not serve as its own appointed
agent and may not appoint the secretary of state as its agent.
Item 5C must include the street address of the agent where service of process may be delivered or
mailed. The registered office 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 address is not required to be the entity’s principal place of business, the registered
office may not be solely a mailbox service or a telephone answering service (BOC § 5.201).
Items 6–8—Other Amendments: Complete this section if the name of the entity or the principal
office address of the entity has been changed. This section should also be completed if the entity
wishes to add or change its federal employer identification number.
Execution: The amendment to an appointment of statutory agent for service of process filed by a
Texas financial institution or defense base development authority must be signed by an authorized
officer of the financial institution or defense base development authority. The amendment to an
appointment of statutory agent for service of process filed by an unincorporated nonprofit
association must be signed by a person authorized to manage the affairs of the nonprofit association.
In addition, the amendment must also be signed by the person named as the entity’s appointed agent
if the name or address of the agent is being amended. If the appointed agent is a corporation or other
legal entity, the amendment must be signed by an officer or other duly authorized representative of
the agent. By signing the amendment, the agent is accepting the appointment and consenting to
serve as an agent to receive service of process on behalf of the entity.
The amendment to appointment need not be notarized. However, before signing, please read the
statements on this form carefully. 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.
Payment and Delivery Instructions: The filing fee for an amendment to appointment is $15 for
a Texas financial institution and $5 for an unincorporated nonprofit association. There is no fee for
the amendment to appointment of an agent by a defense base development authority. Fees may be
paid by personal checks, money orders, LegalEase debit cards, or American Express, Discover,
MasterCard and Visa credit cards. Checks or money orders must be payable through a U.S. bank or
financial institution and made payable to the secretary of state. Fees paid by credit card are subject
to a statutorily authorized convenience fee of 2.7 percent of the total fees.
Submit the completed form in duplicate along with the filing fee. The form may be mailed to P.O.
Box 13697, Austin, Texas 78711-3697; faxed to (512) 463-5709; or delivered to the James Earl
