Your post doesn't say if you are married to the mother. In California, if you are married to the mother and cohabitating at the time of the child's birth, then you are the presumed father of that child. Your paternity can still be challenged with DNA testing, but only until the child reaches his/her 2nd birthday. Once the child is 2 years old, your paternity can no longer be challenged.
I know you're not in California, but maybe Texas has a similar law.
