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.

Welcome and thank you for using AskaLawyer. My name is Gurney, and I’m the attorney who will be assisting with your question. I’m happy to draw on my years of experience as an attorney and former prosecutor to offer some guidance. Please note, if you click the button for a second opinion, that will end our chat and I won’t be able to reply anymore.
