If the secretary of state determines that a filing entity's name contained in a certificate of reinstatement filed under Section 11.202 is the same as, deceptively similar to, or similar to a name of a filing entity or foreign entity on file as provided by or reserved or registered under this code, the secretary of state may not accept for filing the certificate of reinstatement unless the filing entity contemporaneously amends its certificate of formation to change its name or obtains written consent for the use of the similar name. Sections 4.007 and 4.008 apply to a written consent for the use of a similar name under this section to the same extent those sections apply to filing instruments.
