How many certified copies of the petition should I get?
After your petition is granted (why wouldn't it be? :) ), go downstairs to the Court Clerk's office and get certified copies of your petition. (Bring cash or check; they charge a lot for using credit cards.)
You will probably want at least three copies:
- The original to keep, never to give out.
- One to use to change your Texas birth certificate: there have been reports that the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics requires a certified copy and does not return it.
- One to send to places that requires a certified copy of the petition (but will return it) such as the Department of State (to change your passport), etc.
