Specimens we can test for DNA
The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the alleged father and child or children. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory.
Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.
Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests
A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.
When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Conroe DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

This document is available at the hospital, so parents can fill it out and sign it after the baby is born. However, parents should only sign this document if they are sure about the paternity, as it is legally binding and can be difficult to overturn. Additionally, when signing the AOP, parents should work with an AOP-certified entity that the Office of the Attorney General has trained.
Another way of establishing paternity in Conroe, TX, is going to court. Parents usually decide to determine paternity this way because they have doubts or disagreements.
