Petition to Change Name
Name Change Petition
 
This package allows you to legally change your name. Whether you got divorced and didn't change your name as part of that, or simply decided that you want to a new name, we can help.
 
Changing your name in Texas requires filing a name change petition with the appropriate court. Here are the steps:
 
            1.         Confirm Eligibility: Must be 18+ to request a name change. Parents or guardians apply for those under 18.
            2.         Select a New Name: Choose a name.
            3.         File a Name Change Petition: Include your current name, chosen a new name, and the change reason (debt evasion is not allowed).
            4.        Ready Required Documents: Prepare necessary identification like a driver's license or passport. Also, you will need to be finger printed and possibly pass an FBI background check.
            5.        Attend Court Hearing: Justify the name change and respond to the judge's inquiries.
            7.         Get Certified Court Order Copies: Once the court approves, obtain copies of the court order to update your records.
            8.         Update Records: Inform banks, employers, and utilities and update ID documents with the new name.
 
This package makes it simple to change your name.
