If I have a business that is “not in good standing” with the state, can I start a new business?

I have a business that is “not in good standing” with the state. This is because I did not “properly” file franchise tax with the state. I have since let this business fall by the wayside and have not done in business under its name for the past 3 years. Now I would like to start a completely new and separate venture but I worry if I’m going to have any problems because of my previous business.
