Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I want to know can 2 grown women who have called themselves sisters for 10 years but are not bilogically related can they adopt one another. One is 39 and one is 34. The both have lost most of their family and they are all they have. They introduce and think of themselves as sisters. Can they legally adopt one another to become family?

I agree with the previous answer, but note that this would not make them sisters; they would be mother and daughter.
