Information for Self-Represented Litigants
The Tarrant County Family Judges strongly encourage you to hire a lawyer, if possible. Please remember that the court clerks, court staff, and judges want to help you, but they cannot give you legal advice, help you fill out your forms or tell you what to do. If you proceed without a lawyer, you will be responsible for protecting yourself legally. If you still wish to represent yourself, please consider consulting the following resources:
- For Divorce Forms
- For other Family Law Forms
- For Protective Orders
- Criminal District Attorney's Department of Family and Protective Services
- Safe Haven of Tarrant County
- Tarrant County Law Library
- Legal Aid of Northwest Texas
- Texas A&M Law School Law Clinic
- Free Legal Clinics - Tarrant County Bar Association
