A certificate of termination filed by a corporation should be signed by an officer of the corporation
(BOC § 20.001).
A certificate of termination filed by a professional association should be signed by an officer of the
association. If the association does not have any living officers, the certificate of termination should
be signed by the legal representative of the last surviving officer of the association (BOC § 302.013).
A certificate of termination filed by a limited liability company should be signed by an authorized
manager if the company has managers. If the company does not have managers and is managed by
its members, an authorized managing-member must sign the certificate of termination.
A certificate of termination filed by a limited partnership must be signed by all general partners
participating in the winding up of the limited partnership’s business (BOC § 153.553). If no general
partners are winding up the limited partnership’s business, the certificate should be signed by all
nonpartner liquidators or, if the limited partners are winding up the partnership’s business, by a
majority-in-interest of the limited partners. The execution of a certificate by a general partner is an
oath or affirmation, under a penalty of perjury, that to the best of the executing party’s knowledge
and belief, the facts contained in the certificate are true and correct (BOC § 153.553(c)).
The certificate of termination 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.
