What is the name of your state? Texas

My divorce and child support order was all filed and granted in Oklahoma (2002). With my new husband in Texas (resident for 2 yrs) I am in the process of step parent adoption for a minor and relinquishement of rights for the biodad (non-contested and will not appear). Can I file all this in Texas or does Oklahoma still have jurisdiction? If Oklahoma still has jurisdiction I am assuming I have to request a transfer, so is that transfer filed here in Texas or in Oklahoma?

I'm just going by what my lawyer has told me since I'm going through a step parent adoption. I thought I put at the end you should check with a lawyer to see what they say about the situation. Sorry somehow that part didn't get added tot he post.
