Commentary
When a filing instrument takes effect on the occurrence of a future event or fact, other than the passage
of time, the statement provided by section 4.055 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (BOC) must
th
th
be filed with the secretary of state not later than the 90 day after the date the filing instrument is filed.
The statement must confirm that each event or fact on which the effect of the instrument is conditioned
has been satisfied or waived and state the date and time on which the condition was satisfied or waived.
If the statement required by section 4.055 of the BOC is not filed before the expiration of the prescribed
time, the filing instrument does not take effect. A new filing instrument must be filed in order to
effectuate the transaction (BOC § 4.056).
If the specified event or fact does not occur and is not waived, the parties to the filing instrument must
sign and file a certificate of abandonment (Form 427) as provided by section 4.057 of the BOC.
