PLLC vs LLC in Texas: The Basics
We form a PLLC in Texas much the same way that we form an LLC in Texas. However, we use a different Certificate of Formation–This is a key difference because the “Purpose” section will be of great importance when we are forming the PLLC. The Operating Agreement will, again, look very much like an LLC Operating Agreement, but will spell out certain provisions relating only to PLLCs such as restrictions on Membership.
The Purpose of a Texas PLLC
For a PLLC in Texas, the Purpose must be the providing of some specific professional service such as legal advice, medical services, or architectural planning, to name a few. This is why, if you are converting to a PLLC from an LLC, it is not just a simple name change. In order to convert your LLC to a PLLC, for instance, you must file an Amendment containing that new purpose–the professional service–that your PLLC will now provide.
The Benefit of PLLC vs LLC in Texas
This boils down to malpractice liability. Members in a PLLC are protected, by the Texas Business Organization Code, from the malpractice or professional negligence of another professional Member. Additionally, some professions are required by the Texas Secretary of State to form a PLLC.

PLLC vs. LLC in texas
If I want an entity for my professional company, what is the difference between a PLLC and and LLC? Is it just more expensive?
Both LLCs and PLLCs shield Members and Managers from liabilities of the entity. In other words, in a properly run and maintained company, the debts and obligations of the LLC are not transferred automatically to the Members or Managers of the entity. PLLCs in Texas offer malpractice protection to individual practitioners; the malpractice of one practitioner may impart on the PLLC itself, but not on the other professional Members or Managers.
