    Default Putting The Fathers Name On The Birth Certificate

    Does the father have a certain amount of time to add his name to the birth certificate? I ask because my sons biological father still has not added himself to birth certificate, and the court hearing was a year and ten months ago. I was wondering if there is a statute of limitations or something in Texas.

    What was the "court hearing" you mention, and what was the outcome?

    Default Re: Putting The Fathers Name On The Birth Certificate

    It was the hearing after getting the positive results for the paternity test where child support and visitation was ordered. I was told by my caseworker, who is in Harris County, that he had to file the paperwork to get his name placed on the Birth Certificate and have the last name changed. Fast word a year and ten months, and he still has not done it. Is there a certain amount of time that he had to do that?

    If you wish to have the birth certificate corrected, you should be able to petition for correction yourself. Forms and instructions are here.
