State law
Paternity law in Texas.
Texas adopts the Uniform Parentage Act (Texas Family Code Chapter 160). The presumption of paternity arises when a child is born during a marriage or within 300 days of its termination. Voluntary acknowledgment of paternity is established through a signed Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) filed with the Texas Vital Statistics Unit. Genetic testing under Texas Family Code §160.502 may be ordered by a court or requested by any party with standing. Results from AABB-accredited laboratories are accepted as evidence in all Texas family courts. Texas has a four-year statute of limitations for challenging an Acknowledgment of Paternity, with limited exceptions for fraud, duress, or material mistake.
The information above is for general reference only and does not constitute legal advice. For your specific situation, consult a family law attorney licensed in Texas.
