Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Adoption gone wrong

I Born in Dallas, TX. and was adopted in Biscoe, North Carolina. I live in Austin, TX. and my drivers licence and my Social Security card has the adopted name, however my birth cirtificate has my birth name. No records of my adoption exist in Biscoe, NC. How can I get this fixed so I can get a passport?

Re: Adoption gone wrong

Thed simpliest way might be to do an adult name change.

In Harris County the judges have interpreted the TX law to require a finger print card to be inside the file but they don't wait until the criminal background check from Austin has been performed.

Other counties might do it differently.

I offer these on a Do It Yourself kit.
