i am also wondering how to change my daughter's surname to my own. we live in texas so maybe there are other laws that need to be followed. i was never married to my daughter's father, he signed an acknowledgement of paternity when i gave birth to my daughter. he lives in the philippines and was not here for the most part of my daughter's life. he does not send child support either. my daughter and i had to visit him in the philippines for my daughter's 1st birthday. that was the only time he spent with my daughter. pls help! i really want to move on with our lives and change my daughter's surname.
