How to Dissolve an LLC in Texas

What you need to know about Texas LLC dissolution

Texas requires Certificate of Account Status from the Texas Comptroller before dissolution. Filed via SOSDirect.

Texas LLC dissolution is handled by the Texas Secretary of State. The official form is called the Certificate of Termination, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

Texas dissolution process

1. Member or manager approval — per your operating agreement, get the required approval to dissolve.
2. Wind up affairs — collect receivables, pay outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets to members.
3. File the Certificate of Termination — submit to the Texas Secretary of State along with the applicable filing fee.
4. File final federal and state tax returns — marked as "final return."
5. Cancel licenses, permits, and registrations — local, state, and any other jurisdictions.
