Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My son was born in Texas where his father and I live. We are not married. If I want to leave him, can I take our son back to my homestate of Oklahoma when I move or can he call the cops and say I'm kidnapping him?

If you're the child's mother, and there has never been a court order concerning the child, you are not "kidnapping" the child if you move to Oklahoma.

Dad would NEVER be able to get a police department to help him, even if your relocation WERE "kidnapping."
