Commonly Requested Legal Forms

This guide provides links to free online legal forms from various organizations.

About Legal Forms

Official Forms

In general, Texas has very few official legal forms. This is why you will not always find a free fill-in-the-blank form for your situation.

You may be able to draft your own custom form by using a form template or drafting guide. 

Where can I find forms?

  • Court Websites. If there is an official form for a legal procedure, it is usually found on the court's or court clerk's website. We link to many in our guides.
  • Law Libraries. The library has many books and e-books with templates for legal forms. Texas residents can access e-books with a free library account or check out print titles from our Austin location. You can also visit a law library near you.
  • A Lawyer. A lawyer can help create an appropriate form for your situation. To find an attorney, see our Legal Help guide.
