Alright, here's my dilemma. Two of my kids who were born in Mexico have my maiden name as a second last name. All of my kids are citizens.
Last month, when my sixteen year old son got his license, they did not add both last names to it, but only my maiden name. He never goes by that last name so I fear he will later have problems if he ever gets pulled over or have issues at work. At the DMV, they told me that because his two last names were not hyphenated on his certificate of citizenship, that the last name that appears on the certificate is the last name they have to put on his license.
I asked what I could do to fix that, and I was told I have to go to where I got his certificate from, which is the immigration offices here in Fort Worth.
My question is, do I have to go to the immigration offices to change his name to get rid of my maiden name? Or can I file for a name change as a normal U.S. citizen, and if I can, how do I?
Help is appreciated, thanks.

) would. Make sure to check laws and requirements governing the name change procedure in Texas.
