An amendment authorizing the issuance of shares or participation shares in series must contain:(1)
the designation of each series and a statement of any variations in the preferences, limitations, and relative rights among series to the extent that the preferences, limitations, and relative rights are to be established in the certificate of formation; and(2)
a statement of any authority to be vested in the board to establish series and determine the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of each series.(c)

Amendment or restatement of the certificate of formation of a state trust company and approval of the board and shareholders or participants must be made or obtained in accordance with the Business Organizations Code, except as otherwise provided by this subtitle or rules adopted under this subtitle. The original and one copy of the certificate of amendment or restated certificate of formation must be filed with the banking commissioner for approval.
