Re: NAME CHANGE - How about checking your handbook?

Mine explains exactly what we need to do in Texas.

I have changed my name. What do I do?

Send a completed name change form to the Secretary of State and, once approved, you
will be issued an amended commission that reflects your new name. You will then need
to file a new oath of office and an amendment to your bond with the county clerk within
30 days from the date the amended commission was issued in order for the name change
to take effect. Within 30 days of the filing, you should obtain a new seal that reflects
the new name. Once the amended oath and bond are filed, you may no longer use the

commission, including the stamp, that was issued in your previous name. If you fail to
file your amended oath and bond within the 30-day time limit, the name change will
become void and your commission will revert back to the previous name and you will
be required to submit another name change application. (Government Code sections
8213 and 8213.6)

Go to the Sec of State (Ca) click on Notaries then click on "forms & Fees" and you can download the "Name Change Application."
