442nd District Court (Denton County) — Common Reasons Orders Are Rejected (divorce decrees: 60-day waiting period, service or waiver, both signatures, prove-up affidavit on file; SAPCR and modification orders; adult and child name-change orders: verified petition, legible fingerprint card, in-person prove-up for offenses above Class C, §§ 45.102–.103)

The 442nd District Court's checklist of why proposed orders are rejected: a final decree of divorce is rejected when the record does not show the petition on file more than 60 days, service on or a proper waiver by the respondent, both parties' signatures on the order, or a prove-up affidavit or declaration on file when the order is reviewed; a modification or SAPCR order when service or waiver or both signatures are missing; an adult name-change order when the petition does not meet Family Code § 45.102, is unverified or lacks a prove-up affidavit, the fingerprint card is illegible or incomplete, the petitioner has an offense above a Class C misdemeanor (requiring an in-person prove-up), or the order does not meet § 45.103; a child name-change order when all conservators or parents have not been served or waived or both signatures are missing.
