Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My husband went through an adult adoption a couple years ago and we have two children that need there names changed. How can i get there last names changed on there birth certificates? Can you tell me what papers I need to file. We want to try and do this on our own because we dont have 1000 dollars to have a lawyer do it.

The Bureau of Vital Statistics has a form you can send in and ask that a birth certificate be amended. Here's the URL:
