[TX] [TX] What is the process for filing a name change document?
Hi! I just completed a name change document and am wondering what the next steps are? Do I need to go down to my local court and file it?

You can file a petition to change your name at your local district courthouse in the county where you reside. You will fill out and file the petition for a name change. You will then have a hearing with a judge and they will discuss with you why you would like to change your name, etc. If the judge agrees, then they will enter a name change order. You can then use the order to change your name on your important documents. I hope that helps!
If at any time you need an attorney to assist you, you can find a local attorney by contacting your local bar association and asking for a referral to one. You can also contact your local legal aid society as they offer free and low-cost services in these types of cases. Another good resource is to contact your local law schools as they often have clinics with attorneys that will assist in these types of cases.
