texas. what is the statute of limitations to file for a paternity test in texas? Does that change if the birth mom and father never lived together nor were married? What if the child has resided with the father for the majority of the time (the child is 8).

If the child is now 8, and has lived with assumed father for the majority of the time then he has in effect acknowledged his paternity to the child. Regardless, there is a 2 yr statute of limitations to deny paternity of a child after knowing of the childs existence.
