In most states, a change in surname following a marriage takes only a few weeks. In some cases, the process can take several months. If you are getting divorced, the name change can be done as part of the divorce process. For all other name change requests, a petition must be filed with your states court system.
For minor changes to your first or middle name, get an application to amend your birth certificate from the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics. To change your last name, you will need a court order. To file a petition for a name change, you must be at least 18 years of age.
File the verified (sworn) Petition with the fingerprint card attached, along with filing fees (about $200 but varies by county) in the county where you live. If you are unable to afford court costs, you can probably have the filing fee waived by filing a Statement of Inability to Afford Court Costs.
How long will the entire application for change of name take? 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.
DALLAS About 90 miles southeast of Dallas, lies the tiny town of Dew, Texas, boasting a population of 70. While many havent heard of it, the town caught the attention of Hard MTN Dew, the alcoholic spinoff of Mountain Dew. The brand started a petition on change.org to rename the small town to Hard Dew, Texas.
