TX Original SAPCR / Paternity Petition · Step 1 of 6

Your information

Your name, the other party's name, and basic case info. Nothing is sent anywhere — stays on your device until you print.

SharpeSystem helps you organize information for court forms — it is not a lawyer and does not give legal advice. What you do with the completed summary is your decision.

Your full legal name (Petitioner) Your legal name exactly as it appears on your ID or existing court orders. Use the same spelling your court papers already use. Other party's full legal name (Respondent) The other party's full legal name — the name on their ID and existing court papers. Spelling must match your filed paperwork. County you're filing in The county where you're filing this SAPCR. In Texas, you generally file in the county where the child has lived for the past 6 months. Check the top of any existing court order you have. Case number (leave blank if opening a new case) If you haven't filed yet, leave this blank — the clerk assigns a number when you file. Court name or judge (if you already have a case) Find this on your existing court order — something like '310th District Court' or 'County Court at Law No. 3.' Leave blank if you're just starting.
