Is There a Time Limit to Change Your Name After a Divorce in Texas?

After a divorce, many women choose to revert to their maiden name. In Texas, you have the option of changing your name back to your maiden name or keeping your married name. The process for changing your name is generally simple and can be done by filing a Petition for Name Change with the court. However, there are a few requirements that must be met before the court will grant your request. 

You must submit a completed Name Change Request Form, which is available from the clerk of court's office. 

Once your Petition for Name Change has been approved, you will need to notify various government agencies, businesses, and financial institutions of your new name. While it may take some time and effort to change your name after divorce, many women find that it is worth it to start fresh with a new name.
