Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I have a 2 year old daughter that my husband has raised since birth, he's not her biological father but her biological father has signed over all of his rights. I have 2 older children with my husband, I ended up pregnant with my 2 year old during a separation and quickly realized my husband and I still belonged together. My daughter already has my husband's last name and my husband wants to legally adopt her. Her birth certificate has no father listed. My question is, when my husband adopts her can he then be put on her birth certificate as her father?

Yes. If he adopts her then he is legally her father.

I would talk to a family law attorney in your county.
