Question 1

What is a Texas Certificate of Good Standing?

Accepted Answer

A Texas Certificate of Good Standing (also called a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status) is an official document issued by the Texas state government — confirming that your business entity is legally registered, up-to-date with all required filings and fees, and authorized to conduct business in Texas. It does not speak to the financial health of a business, only its compliance status with the state.
