In Texas, it is not difficult at all to change your name, if you have never been charged with a felony, or Class A or B misdemeanor. All you have to do is file a name change petition in the county court for the county in which you reside, together with an order for the judge to sign. The filing fee is approximately $230 (may vary by county - check with your county clerk).
