Signatures and names in legal documents under Texas law
Legal name comprises a given name and surname. middle names help identification but are not required. Married women often sign as Mrs. Husband’s full name, which can create title and ownership issues. Junior or Senior are not legally significant, nor are Mr. or Mrs. signs, but adding them is harmless. Ensure consistent identification across records to avoid costly title problems.
