FAQ

They are necessary. Your nonprofit does not need to file bylaws with the Texas Secretary of State, but they are required to obtain tax-exempt status with the IRS.

501(c)(3), (4), (8), (10) or (19) organizations are exempt from Texas franchise tax and sales tax. A federal tax exemption only applies to the specific organization to which it is granted.

The Texas Business Organizations Code requires a nonprofit corporation to have at least three directors, one president, and one secretary. The same person cannot be both the president and secretary. Officers and directors must be natural persons, but may be known by other titles.

Traditionally, when starting a nonprofit, the best choice for legal structure is to form a nonprofit corporation at the state level and to apply for 501(c)(3) tax exemption at the federal level.

Your bylaws should help you resolve internal conflict, and demonstrate your commitment to responsibly managing donations to both the IRS and the general public. Not all states require nonprofits to draft these governing documents, but Texas does.

To receive a 501(c)(3) tax exemption, federal requirements stipulate that all members of your board of directors be unrelated. Texas requires only two officers appointed for every nonprofit: a president and a secretary. You may add other officers as preferred or needed while establishing your nonprofit.
