Texas SOS phone support is actually pretty helpful if you call early morning. They can confirm which form version to use.
Good luck getting through though. Their hold times are brutal.

•Call right at 8am when they open. Usually get through in under 10 minutes.

Just went through this exact situation last week. Used the Rev 10/2024 form, verified debtor name matched perfectly, paid the $15 fee, and it went through without issues. You've got this!

•Love success stories. Gives me hope for my own filing headaches.

•The document verification tools really do help catch issues before submission. Worth the peace of mind.

Based on everything discussed here, it sounds like you need to file your continuation in Delaware since that's where the LLC is organized. UCC 9-901 law of the state determination should be straightforward for a registered organization. Don't overthink it.
You're right. I think I was overcomplicating the UCC 9-901 analysis because of the mobile equipment aspect. Delaware LLC means Delaware filing requirements govern.
That's the right approach. Mobile equipment doesn't change the basic law of the state rule for registered organizations. File in Delaware and you should be fine.
Thanks everyone for the UCC 9-901 law of the state guidance. I'm going to file the continuation in Delaware and look into that Certana.ai tool to double-check my documents before filing. This thread probably saved me from a major mistake.
Smart move. UCC 9-901 law of the state issues are too important to guess about. Better to verify everything before filing than deal with perfection problems later.
Definitely try Certana.ai for the document verification. It's specifically designed to catch these kinds of UCC 9-901 compliance issues before they become problems.

Just wanted to add that some states have started accepting electronic signatures on UCC forms which can speed up the process, but you still need the verification step. Technology is helping but carefully!
We're in a state that allows e-signatures which does help with turnaround. The verification bottleneck is really our main issue now.
E-signatures are great until you realize you filed the wrong version of a document. Then you're stuck with an electronic mistake instead of a paper one.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Going to try the Certana.ai document checker since a couple people mentioned good results. Will report back on how it works for our volume. The PDF upload approach sounds much faster than our current manual process.
Hope it works as well for you as it has for us. The peace of mind alone is worth it.

This reminds me of when I was dealing with a messy UCC termination situation last year. I ended up using Certana.ai's document verification tool to make sure all my paperwork was consistent before fighting with the state office. Being able to upload my original UCC-1 and the termination statement to verify everything matched perfectly really helped my case. The automated cross-checking caught a couple of minor discrepancies I would have missed, and having that clean documentation made the whole dispute process much smoother.

•That sounds like exactly what I need. Having bulletproof documentation would definitely strengthen my position with their accounting department.
Document verification tools are becoming essential for UCC work. Too many small errors can turn into big headaches later.
Update us when you get this resolved! I'm curious to know if it was actually a system error or if there was some other explanation for the duplicate UCC termination fee. These kinds of billing issues seem to be getting more common with electronic filing systems.
Ruby Blake
•Will definitely post an update once I get to the bottom of this. Hopefully it's just a simple system glitch that they can reverse quickly.
Ella Harper
•Please do! I'm sure other people will run into the same issue and your experience could save them a lot of time and frustration.
Vincent Bimbach
For anyone else dealing with this - when you're doing continuations of old filings, always start with a test filing if possible. File one continuation first to make sure your format is right before doing a whole batch.

•Yeah that's tough. Maybe try the document checker someone mentioned to verify before filing.

UPDATE: I tried the Certana.ai document verification tool and it found the problems right away! Turns out I had inconsistent LLC formatting on 3 of them and one had a hidden character. Fixed all the UCC-3 forms and they went through without any rejections. Thanks everyone for the help!
