Re: Divorce
For a basic divorce you need the following:
Original Petition for Divorce
Waiver of Service
Agreed Final Decree of Divorce
I'd go to a Texas law library.
Or a bookstore -- PLEASE only look for books that state they use Texas Forms. Forms from another state will not work.
I've seen some real junk sold on the internet. I read one set of forms for $300 that I could not understand -- and I've been licensed over 13 years!
Also, the books at office supply stores do NOT work.
Best of luck,
