My question involves name change laws in the State of: Texas
My son is 11 and has not seen his father since he was 1. We don't know where his father resides and he does not pay child support. We are wanting to change my sons last name to mine. My question is, once I file the petition with the County Clerks office what do I need to file the notice by publication in the newspaper for his last known city? Thanks for you help in advance.
