Conroe TX DNA Testing Locations

Types of DNA Tests at our Conroe TX clinics:

Paternity Testing can conclusively establish whether or not a man is the biological father of a child.

Relationship Testing for other close family relationships can be performed at our testing centers. Our DNA testing services can confirm or deny biological relationships between grandparents, grandchildren, siblings, half-siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews:

perm_identity
Grandparent DNA Test (if the father is not available for testing)
perm_identity
Sibling DNA Test (possible brothers, sisters, or half-siblings)
perm_identity
Avuncular DNA Test (aunt/uncle and niece/nephew)

Specimens we can test for DNA

The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the alleged father and child or children. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory.

Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.

Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests

A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Conroe DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Establishing paternity in Conroe, TX

Parents from Conroe, Texas, who are about to have a child but are not married, must establish paternity. They can do so by signing the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP). This document is available at the hospital, so parents can fill it out and sign it after the baby is born. However, parents should only sign this document if they are sure about the paternity, as it is legally binding and can be difficult to overturn. Additionally, when signing the AOP, parents should work with an AOP-certified entity that the Office of the Attorney General has trained.

Another way of establishing paternity in Conroe, TX, is going to court. Parents usually decide to determine paternity this way because they have doubts or disagreements. The judge often asks the alleged father and the child to take DNA tests to find out whether the alleged father is the birth father. The judge may consider the results of the DNA test to establish paternity, but other factors may also be considered.

Health Street's DNA testing services in Conroe, Texas, can help parents establish paternity. Our tests are 99.9% accurate, painless, reliable, and with a quick turnaround time.
