My question involves name change laws in the State of: Texas
I have a 9 yr old son who has not seen nor had any contact with his bilogical father (father's decision) since he was a year old. The bio-father is NOT on the birth certificate and has never paid a cent of child support.
I married three years ago and now have an 18 month old baby boy. My oldest is wanting to add my married name to his current last name so he can share the same name as the rest of us.
Can I do this legally without having to contact the biological father?
