Can I rescind or challenge an acknowledgement of paternity after it has been signed in Texas?

You have the option to revoke an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) or a Denial of Paternity (DOP) by submitting a Rescission of Acknowledgment of Paternity form to the Texas Vital Statistics Unit through the Law Office of Dana Baker. This action must be taken:

• Within 60 days following the acknowledgment or denial’s effective date, and
• Before any legal proceedings concerning the child commence.

If  you miss the rescission period, you might still contest an AOP or DOP by initiating a lawsuit in Texas, focusing on the child’s residency area. For assistance, contact the Law Office of Dana Baker at 979-310-5507.
