About this file

This is an Authorization and Chain of Custody Form for Paternity Testing Services from the Texas Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Division, dated 3/26/2020. The multi-page document is a request for paternity testing services that requires detailed documentation for specimen collection, including specific sections for the mother, child, and alleged father to provide personal information, consent, and authorization for testing. The form includes spaces for ethnicity, medical history, specimen identification, signatures, and photo placement, with provisions to track the chain of custody throughout the specimen collection and testing process.

The form is designed to ensure a rigorous and legally defensible process for paternity testing, with multiple verification steps and signatures required from all parties involved. It includes sections for specimen collectors to certify collection and handling, a witness section, and a final vendor receipt confirmation. The document emphasizes the integrity of the testing process through detailed tracking mechanisms, including checkpoints for specimen sealing, potential tampering, and transportation verification. The form is marked as a sample and notes that it is subject to change, suggesting it is part of a broader request for proposal (RFP) for paternity testing services.
