Lawyer Answers
The short answer to your question is yes. You could do your own adult adoption in Texas. Perhaps a better question is, should you do it on your own? The answer to that is, probably not. Adoption statutes in Texas are in the Family Code, a confusing set of rules even for an attorney that does not regularly practice family law. With any adoption there are multiple legal hurdles to overcome and requirements to meet. Ensuring that all laws are complied with makes the expense of engaging an attorney far outweigh the risks of going it alone.
