Why is his last name different from yours? Were you not married at the time of birth? If not, when and how did you establish paternity?
Absent a basis for seeking a correction of the Washington birth record, you'll need to go through the Texas name change process (with associated filing fees and any required publication fees) then convey proof of the name change to Washington for correction of the birth certificate.
