Texas Power of Attorney

    In this section, we're offering a few free, downloadable forms that you can use in your Texas no-fault divorce, and we'll be adding more.  We've got to admit that we thought it was a hoot when we found out other web-sites were charging people to download the Pauper's Oath.  Only a lawyer could come up with something like that!  So here's what you need to use these forms:

            - a program that will unzip zipped files, such as Winzip.  If you don't have it on your computer, you can download it here:

            - a program that will open microsoft word documents, most commonly microsoft word or wordpad.

            -some very minimal skill in word processing.  If you can write a letter on your computer, you should be able to use these.  Each file contains a "readme" document that contains complete instructions.

            - a printer with black ink and some white paper (or you can save it to disk and print it out on a friend's computer.


PAUPER'S OATH

    This is the document that you use if you really can't afford to pay the Court Costs for your divorce.  You should NOT use it unless that's really and truly the case.  Be prepared to show some documentation that you can't pay when you go into to file your papers.  Click on one of the three links below, depending on whether you have no children, one child, or multiple children.

CITATIONS

    In most cases, you'll have no need of these forms.  Usually, the District Clerk's Office will prepare the citations when you pay for serving your spouse.  There are, however, a few jurisdictions out there where they still require you to prepare your own  If that's the case, then download one of the following files, depending on whether or not your spouse lives in the county where the divorce is being processed.
 
 

Citation for a Respondent Who Lives in the same County Where the Divorce is Filed
Citation for a Respondent Who Lives in a Different County or State
