    How to change my daughter's last name in Texas?
    I have a 5 yr old daughter. The biological father passed away before she was born and his name is not on the birth certificate. I have been married to a wonderful man for the past 4 yrs and he has raised her as his own. What do I need to do to have her last name changed to his las name? Thanks!
