Texas Affidavit of Financial Support (2026)

A Texas affidavit of financial support is a sworn promise to support someone (a student, relative or tenant applicant). It is NOT USCIS Form I-864 and cannot be used for immigration. An unsworn declaration with your name, date of birth and address (Civil Practice and Remedies Code §132.001) can generally replace an affidavit, but not for a lien or an instrument recorded with the county clerk; otherwise sign before a notary.
