Does a foreign nonprofit corporation have to qualify to conduct its affairs in Texas if its only contact with the state is solicitation of funds or donations?
A nonprofit corporation that actively solicits funds in this state may be conducting its affairs in Texas and should file an application for a certificate of authority to transact business. However, if the contacts the corporation has with the state are only through interstate commerce (for example, by mail or by telephone), or if the corporation hires independent contractors to do fund raising, then the corporation would probably not be considered to be transacting business in the state.
