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 registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Experts Say...

Tomball father's rights attorneys Davis & Associates explain the rights of unmarried fathers. " Like most states, Texas law states that the mother of a child automatically gets all parental rights when the parents are not married," the law firm said. "The father retains his rights if his name is on the child's birth certificate. Otherwise, the mother has all custodial rights, both in terms of physical residence and legal responsibilities." The law firm said that a man obtains his parental rights by legally proving that he's the child's biological father. "Texas parentage law states that if both the mother and father of a child agree that the man involved is the child's biological father, then his paternity is voluntarily established," the law firm explained. "This is proved and officialized by their signatures on a court-recognized document that acknowledges paternity. This is the ideal situation for unmarried couples."

Establishing Paternity in Tomball, TX

Unmarried parents in Tomball must establish paternity for the child's biological father to become the legal father. The easiest way to establish paternity is by signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP), a voluntary form stating the child's father. Parents must work with an AOP-certified entity to file an AOP. Tomball parents can find an AOP-certified entity by typing in their address. If parents cannot agree to establish paternity voluntarily, they can go to court.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Tomball, TX

If a parent files a paternity action to establish paternity, the court will likely order a DNA test to prove paternity. If the DNA test determines that a man is the child's biological father, paternity can be established, and the judge can issue visitation, custody, and child support orders.
