    Red face Changing Baby Daughter's Last Name to Same Sex Partner's Last Name

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: TX

    If I put my last name on her birth certificate as her last name, without putting the father on the BC, can I later change her last name to my girlfriend's last name? Would it be better to wait till we are married? If I don't want to wait, what is the process we'd follow?

    Get Dad's permission, or permission from the court, and all will be well.
