Note The library cannot help you fill out forms or determine what form you should use.
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.
If there is an official form for a legal procedure, it is usually found on the court or court clerk websites. We link to many in this guide.
Everyone's legal situation is different. It is difficult to create standard fill-in-the-blank forms that can work for everyone.
If there are no fill-in-the-blank forms, you may be able to draft your own by using a form template or drafting guide. These are usually created by legal aid and nonprofit groups or private publishers.
Templates and drafting guides often need to be customized for your specific situation. TexasLawHelp.org has an article that explains how you can change existing forms or write your own. If you need help, it's a good idea to ask a lawyer.
Below are links to the justice courts for some of Texas' most populous counties. Most of the websites listed will have you select which precinct in order to locate additional filing information and downloadable print forms (if available).
If your county does not have their own forms available to use, check out our Commonly Requested Legal Forms page for small claims forms available online.
