Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am pregnant and have separated from my husband due to his mistreatment of his two biological daughters from a previous marriage. I am due to deliver in only 10 days. My husband and his daughters are now living with his parents. I called CPS and they are currently investigating him, but are having trouble finding "proof." I am affraid for my daughter to be to ever be with him alone. My main question today is about name change. I want to have the same last name as my daughter. Ideally I would like for us both to have my maiden name. Can I use my maiden name for the baby and myself on the birth certificate (his name will not be on the birth certificate) if I am not divorced yet?

Quite frankly it depends on the hospital policy.

I hope everything goes smoothly! Good luck!
