Texas Name Change Instructions and Forms Package for an Adult

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of the law applicable to an action for an adult change of name in the State of Texas, but does include basic and other provisions.

Name Change Action Allowed:

In Texas, an adult may change their name by filing an action in the county court, in the county in which they reside, with appropriate forms.

Who is an adult?

A person who has attained the age of 18 years is considered an adult.

Is there any reason why a person might not be allowed to change his or her name?

Yes. The court must find (1) that the name change is for the benefit of or in the interest of the Petitioner; and (2) that the requested name change is consistent with the public interest. A person is not allowed to change their name in order to avoid judgments or legal actions against him or her, or to avoid debts and obligations. A person can not change their name to defraud any person.

Requirements for Name Change Order:

For an order of name change to be granted, the court must find the name change in the interest or to the benefit of the petitioner and in the interest of the public. A change of name upon marriage, dissolution, or divorce meets these requirements.

Is Publication of a Notice Required?

No, not for an adult seeking a name change.

Can individuals "object" to my Petition for Name Change?

Yes. Any reasonable objections made to the court may influence the court's findings as to whether the change of name is consistent with the public interest.

Procedures:

The process for obtaining a name change for an adult in the State of Texas begins with the filing of a Petition with the County Court in the jurisdiction in which the Petitioner resides. The Petition informs the Court of the Petitioner's name, the name the Petitioner wishes to adopt, the reasons for the requested change of name, and other personal information required by statute.

After the Petition is filed and the required filing fee has been paid, if the court is satisfied that the required information has been provided in the Petition, the Court may Order the change of name if the Court finds it in the interest or to the benefit of the Petitioner and in the public interest.
