Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Name change
I have a 12 year old son. His father and I were never married, but he signed a petition of parental rights and birth certificate. My son carries his last name. But, when my son was 1 1/2 years old, his dad has been in prison. Can I as the mother change his name? My son has been asking to change his last name.

Re: Name change
With the father's permission, or file your motions and serve the father if he defaults you may get what you want.
