filing, for copies and certificates ordered, and inquiries
submitted. The cost of an inquiry is $1.00 per name
searched. The $1.00 fee is not charged when the search is
made when ordering copies/certificates or when making a

XVIII. Merger and Conversion Fees
The fee for the merger of a domestic filing entity must
include the formation fee for each newly created domestic
filing entity. For example, the total filing fee for the
merger of a Texas corporation with a limited liability
company that creates a new Texas limited partnership is
$1050. When the converted entity (the entity after the
conversion) is a Texas entity, the filing fee must include
the fee for the formation of the converted domestic entity.
For example, the total fee for converting a Texas
corporation to a Texas limited liability company is $600.
