Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Texas name change fingerprinting

I want to change my name in Texas. I went to get fingerprinted at the police station, but was told I needed a fingerprinting card. The county clerk's office said they do not provide the cards. After looking online, I am unsure what I need to do. Do I need to have my fingerprints filed with DPS and the FBI or just submit my prints to the court?
