Form 607—General Information (Certificate of Cancellation of a Domestic or Foreign Limited Partnership) The attached form is designed to meet minimal statutory filing requirements pursuant to the relevant code provisions. This form and the information provided are not substitutes for the advice and services of an attorney and tax specialist. Commentary In accordance with section 8.01 of the Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act (TRLPA), a domestic limited partnership is dissolved when the events specified in the partnership agreement to cause the dissolution of the partnership occur; when all partners sign a written consent to dissolve; when a general partner withdraws (unless there is an agreement to continue the business of the partnership as provided by section 8.03); or when there is an entry of decree of dissolution by judicial order. A partnership must file a certificate of cancellation with the secretary of state pursuant to section 2.03 of the TRLPA when there are no limited partners, or after dissolution has occurred and the winding up of the affairs of the partnership has been completed. Pursuant to section 9.06 of the TRLPA, a foreign limited partnership that has either dissolved in its jurisdiction of formation or that has ceased to transact business in Texas must file a certificate of cancellation in accordance with section 2.03 of the TRLPA in order to cancel its registration to transact business. Instructions for Form  Items 1-3—Entity Information: The certificate of cancellation must contain the legal name of the limited partnership and the date of the filing of its certificate of limited partnership or application for registration with the secretary of state.
