After your petition for divorce has been filed, Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period in order for the divorce to be finalized, even if it is uncontested.
First, you will need to gather all the necessary documents, such as your birth certificate, social security card, and any court orders related to your name change. Secondly, you will need to complete the appropriate forms, which can be found on the Bexar County Clerk's website.
