Can you change back to your maiden name in a Texas Divorce?

Yes, when filing for divorce in Texas, you can request the court restore your maiden name as part of your divorce decree. This is the only time you can change your name back to a maiden or previous name without charge. If you forget or choose not to change your name during your divorce proceeding, you will have to file a separate suit for a name change.
