I assume it is regarding a divorce or family law matter.

There is no "waiver" to say that you cannot pay.

There is a "waiver of service" that states that you received the Petition & that you do not object to the case moving forward without your input.

If you are looking for a legal document look on the free website - texaslawhelp.org

I don't use them but I refer pro se people (people without attorneys) to this site on a daily basis.

I hope this email has been helpful.

I'm not sure what waiver you refer to. There is an affidavit of inability to pay that you can submit with a divorce petition that asks the court to waive filing fees but the court is not obligated to waive fees. If you are referring to a child support obligation that you cannot pay then unfortunately there is no waiver of your support obligation.
