Texas Minor Name Change is a legal process in which individuals under the age of 18 can legally change their name. The process is overseen by the Texas courts and requires the minor and their parent or guardian to submit a petition to the court. This petition must include the minor's current name, the proposed name change, a reason for the name change, and the minor's date of birth. Depending on the individual's circumstances, the court may also require a background check. There are three different types of Texas Minor Name Change: single name change, double name change, and family name change. A single name change is when an individual under the age of 18 changes one part of their name, such as their first name. A double name change is when an individual changes both parts of their name, such as their first and last name. A family name change is when all members of a family legally change their names.
