My son is not called Julian Renner and has not been since the eleventh of August 2016.

I restored my own name in 2015, the year after the decree, which is a straightforward thing that you can do as part of a divorce in Texas and which cost nothing.

Maya’s was changed by order in 2016, on a petition, because she was eight and a minor and it required a judge.

And Julian did his own, at twenty, in the same summer, and I did not ask him to and did not suggest it and found out he had filed when he asked me for a copy of his birth certificate.

A legal name change for an adult in Texas is a petition to a district court.
