How to file a Texas Corporation Amendment:

|
Texas has one form for all domestic for-profit businesses. Fill out and file in duplicate Form 424, Certificate of Amendment. You can file it in person, by mail or online at SOSDirect. http://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/sosda/index.shtml for $1 log in fee. You also can fax your amendment with form 807 with your credit card information.
