Authorized Contact

I understand that filing a Certificate of Termination legally ends the entity's existence. This action is final and cannot be easily reversed once processed by the Secretary of State. I understand the payment today covers the filing service and standard state filing fees. Any outstanding Franchise Taxes, Penalties or Interest discovered during the audit are separate and must be paid to the Comptroller before the dissolution can be finalized. I understand AttriBiz is a private filing service, not a government agency or law firm. I authorize AttriBiz to act as the entity's organizer to submit the Final Tax Report and Certificate of Termination.

Electronic Signature By typing your name, you certify under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to dissolve this entity.

⚠️ Why Professional Dissolution Matters

The "Zombie Entity" Risk: "Stopping Business" does not stop the tax clock. If the SOS does not receive a valid Certificate of Termination, the Comptroller continues to assess franchise tax and penalties every year - INDEFINITELY.
The "05-359" Trap: A common reason self-filed dissolution packets are rejected because the owner attaches a standard "Certificate of Good Standing" instead of the required "Certificate of Account Status for Dissolution". We secure the correct document to prevent rejection.
Liability Firewall: Under Texas Tax Code Sec. 171.255, officers become personally liable for corporate debts if the entity forfeits its privileges. A formal termination is the only legal way to permanently sever this personal liability link.
The "Gap Period" Audit: You cannot dissolve if you owe $0.01. We audit the "Gap Period" (the time between your last annual report and today) to ensure the Final Tax Report covers every single day of operation, guaranteeing a clean break.
