    Default Mother Used a False Name on Her Child's Birth Certificate

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    I don't know what to do. I have been struggling with drug-induced psychosis/schizophrenia for about 5 years now, and I had my first daughter 4 years ago. I lied about my name on her birth certificate and me and my husband have been back and forth to Austin, TX. The last time we went, they charged me with fraud for lying about my name and that I would have to see a judge to get her birth certificate figured out. My daughter is supposed to start school a year from now. I don't have any money to get a lawyer, and Rio Grande Legal Aid turned me down. So now I am going to go to the public defender's office on Monday, but what happens if they turn me down? What do I do then? Should I represent myself? Once again, I don't have any money to get a lawyer.

    My question involves public health law in the State of: I don't know what to do.


    using a name other than the one on your birth certificate is not in itself fraud. Fraud is an intentional act to deceive another for your benefit.


    what is the act of fraud. specifically, the charge is based upon?

    Have you officially bern charged with fraud ? Or are you just trying to get the birth certificate corrected because your daughter is starting school and will be aware of what is says ? Or both ?

    If you have been charged with a crime, petition for a court-appointed lawyer.
