When a mother is married at the time of her child\u2019s birth, the husband is generally presumed to be the father under Texas family law. There are two ways to rebut the presumption: with a proceeding to adjudicate parentage or with the filing of a denial of paternity along with the filing of an acknowledgement of paternity by another person.\u00a0 Suits to adjudicate parentage of a child with a presumed father generally must be brought by the child\u2019s fourth birthday. There is an exception, however if the mother and presumed father did not live together or engage in sexual intercourse at the probable time of the child\u2019s conception.\u00a0 There is also an exception if the presumed father mistakenly believed he was the biological father based on misrepresentations.
