Conversion Overview
Texas allows an LLC to convert into a C Corporation through a statutory conversion. This means the business can change its legal structure without dissolving and starting over. The entity continues while its internal framework shifts to support corporate governance, stock issuance, and long-term scalability.
Conversion Method
Texas uses statutory conversion for an LLC to C Corporation conversion. This allows the entity to transition from an LLC to a corporation by filing a Certificate of Conversion together with a Certificate of Formation. The business remains intact while its legal and ownership structure is reorganized for corporate operation.
Key Notes
- Texas allows direct statutory conversion from an LLC to a C Corporation.
- A Certificate of Conversion must be filed with the state.
