The child's last name can be changed to the father's last name if both parents are in agreement and they both sign the Application for a New Birth Certificate Based on Parentage in the presence of a notary public.
Here's the info on the form:

Send it in with $25 (plus $22 if you want a copy of the new birth certificate), along with an Acknowledgement of Paternity.
Here's info about how to get the Acknowledgement of Paternity form:

You're welcome.
The only job thispego is gonna get doesn't pay any money but its high in protein.
lol heath you are sad and I still feel sorry for you and your kid. You gonna tell him what daddy does when he gets older? You don't want him to be ashamed of you...
Thanks Koko but isn't this instructions for howto amend the birth certificate to reflect his new name after it's legally changed?
I'm almost positive that's how you can legally change it.
http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/reqpr...paternity.shtm - Read the answer to the question, "What about changing the child's last name?"
You first have to do that Acknowledgement of Paternity form (get it from the Texas Attorney General's office) and then I think you can just change the birth certificate as I indicated above. I'm no lawyer, but I think this the work around to paying the high filing fee.
Interesting, I'll look into it further and see if this will get it taken care of. Thanks Kori! You want a spur or something?
Why didn't you get this taken care of when the bas was born?
Pego,
What the lawyer told you is correct. There is no way to get around the filing fee. Realistically, you are looking at $500- 700 for lawyer fees + the filing fees if you go that route. Remember that the lady who works in the court clerk's office is there because she didn't go to law school.
We changed my daughter's last name about 18 months ago and, after talking to my sister ( a lawyer ), went the do it yourself route like you are doing. It was easy & painless. We filed the papers in the clerk's office & then were sent over to the judge's clerk to set a hearing date. We got a date about 30 days out. That morning we went to court & when it was our turn on the docket, the judge asked my daughter the reason for the name change. She told him she wanted mine & her stepdad's last name, as we were the ones who raised her. He said "Congratulations, your are now XXXXXX NewLastName". Then we went back to the clerk's office and paid for about 10 certified copies of the decree since I didn't know what agencies would need to keep certified copies on file & which ones would give them back.
I didn't see how old your daughter was. We did it after my daughter turned 18 b/c her sperm donor (her nickname for him, not mine) wouldn't sign off when she was minor. WHen she was younger she wanted to hypenate her old last name & her new one, but after the way he handled it along with some other issues, she just wanted to drop his name altogether. In the end, I talked her into making her old last name a second middle name. That way it would be there for genealogy purposes.
Good luck.
Thanks for the thoughtful response 2blonde. My son will be 2 in February, I wonder if Kori is on to something, or if mrsmaalox had it right when she said it could only be done Kori's way if he was <1yo. What you've said sounds accurate though with what everyone else has told me. Too bad for your daughters 'sperm donor' not being a part of her life is his loss.
Basically, because I was a selfish jerk.
It looks like was Kori posted is defintely worth a try, as long as the mother will sign off as well. I noticed when reading the FAQ's on the link that the state will keep the notarized copies permanently. It might be worth it to get two copies of the paternity form notarized as a back up.
Took the case to Maury and got told you WERE the father?
you must of hated mookies parents tbh
Oh yeah, she's all for it. I'm gonna give Kori's suggestion a try on Monday. Sounds too good to be true though.
Mook was born only 8 oz. believe it or nottt
Rofl, nah I knew I was the father, had dated the girl for 5 years, fought alot, broke up, had sex one last time, she moved away, got pregnant.
And his parents are thin and healthy. Mook is not fat, he's just big boned
they were able to carry him on the curvature of a small spoon tbh
Rofl its true
Are you already on the birth certificate as the father- is it blank- or is someone else's name there?
To supplement what Kori posted:
When an application for a new birth certificate based on parentage is submitted along with a certified copy of a marriage license or an Acknowledgment of Paternity, the parents can, in most cases, change the child's name without needing a court-ordered change of name.
http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/reqpr...parentage.shtm
Yeah, that's why I think it will work. He just needs to get an Acknowledgement of Paternity, then he and his baby's mama need to sign the application for a new birth certificate based on parentage and get it notarized. Then he should be able to submit it with that small fee and get it changed (and get the new birth certificate).
