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 Find a Lawyer and Legal Help guides. 

Note We are not aware of any online forms for a general termination of parental rights case. You can find templates for termination case procedures in the Books & E-Books box below.

There are several online forms related to termination cases in specific circumstances. For more on terminating parental rights, see our Termination of Parental Rights guide.
