1.1.3.8 Certificate of Good Standing (Board Corporation Act, Article 2.45)
The Certificate of Good Standing must be submitted by all corporations that are not exempt from Franchise Tax. The Certificate of Good Standing prevents a corporation that is delinquent in Franchise Tax from being awarded a contract or granted a license or permit by the state or agency of the state. Providers must obtain the Certificate of Good Standing from the Comptroller's Office. Corporations that are nonprofit or exempt from Franchise Tax are not required to submit this form. These corporations have what the Comptroller's Office refers to as a "501C IRS Exemption." Indicate this exemption by signing the appropriate line on the Disclosure of Ownership & Control Interest Statement and marking exempt on the W-9 form. Out-of-state providers who do not conduct business in Texas are also exempt from submitting this form.
