Yes, in Texas a willing adult may adopt a willing adult. However doing so may result in a loss of inheritance rights for the person being adopted from that person's biological parent (this issue and others should be discussed with any attorney).
I am an Austin lawyer and represent clients across Central Texas. If you would like to consult with me about this case feel free to call me for a free consultation: 512-827-7548 (8AM to 10PM Seven days a week).
Good Luck!
