I am wanting to change the jurisdiction for my case.  It was signed by both parties and the judge 2 years ago and has remained in the county where my son was born.  My son and I have lived in another county for 4 years now.  We are in Texas.  Which form do I use to change the jurisdiction from one county to another?  If I can do it on my own without using the attorney I used during the case then that would be great.  I have not had to use him in 2 years and I do not owe him one cent and would love to keep it that way by doing the form on my own.  

Thank you!!:-)

You don't have to file anything.  After 6 months after UCCJEA, the new county became your new jurisdiction.  You would establish the new jurisdiction when you go to court for a new motion...like child support.  It would be up to your Ex to challenge the new jurisdiction (and at her cost with an atty) and she would probably lose it anyway.
