I misspelled my wife's first name on the original divorce petition in Texas. How do I correct this mistake? I filed Pro Se. Do I have to correct the mistake?

No. Fix the typo on the FINAL DECREE OF DIVORCE.

If it was a huge typo that makes it impossible to identify her, or it's is a huge issue for her, then you can file a FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR DIVORCE & file it at the courthouse. It is free to do this.

TYPOS HAPPEN!
