I need a form in Word to change a minor’s name in Montgomery County, Texas.
Got it—you’re looking to change a minor’s name in Montgomery County, TX. Just to clarify, have you ever gone through the process of changing a child’s name before?
No, I have not.
Thanks! That helps. Are you looking to change the child’s first name, last name, or the full name?
I want to change the last name.
Understood. One moment while I bring in an attorney who can help you with a customized form for this. You’ll be speaking with Attorney Gurney shortly.
