To enforce a court order, you must file a motion for enforcement. This motion must call out the specific provisions that were violated, as well as the relief you are requesting from the court. Given the penalties that can be imposed on violators, it's very important that the language in the motion is very precise.

Through a Court Order All Texas residents can apply for a name change under Texas Family Code Chapter 45. This chapter defines the formal process for changing a legal name through the courts. An adult may request to change their name for any reason, except for reasons against the public interest.
A party in a suit or proceeding pending in a court of this state may, by sworn written motion stating that he believes the suit or proceeding is being prosecuted or defended without authority, cause the attorney to be cited to appear before the court and show his authority to act.
Adult name changes can be court-ordered as part of a divorce proceeding or as a separate process by itself. They can also happen because of a marriage, which does not require a court order to register the change if done within the required timeframes.
Name change actions can take anywhere from a day to six (6) months (sometimes even longer). The time it takes for such action to be ordered/decreed varies not only from county to county, but sometimes from courthouse to courthouse as well.
While you cannot complete the entire name change process online in Texas, some counties may allow you to file your Petition for Change of Name electronically. You will likely need to appear in court to finalize the name change.
