Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Once my baby is born and I can prove who the father is, will I be successful in taking him to court for half of the cost of prenatal vitamins, transportation to and from doctor appts and maternity clothes?

I am unable to make a prediction on how a judge will rule with certainty.
You can ask to be reimbursed for anything but whether or not you will actually receive the money is another thing.
I've seen a judge order a man to pay 1/2 of prenatal vitamins. The father reimbursed the mom for the portion that insurance did not pay.
The woman's transportation costs and maternity costs were not ordered to paid by the judge. I don't know how another judge would rule.
Happy pregnancy.
If the guy is a "dud", you could spend more on legal fees, than the actual costs of these sorts of things.
