If the secretary of state determines that a foreign filing entity's name or the name under which it is registered to transact business in this state is the same as, deceptively similar to, or similar to a name of a filing entity or foreign filing entity 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 foreign filing entity amends its registration 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.
