What is the difference between a Legal and Non-Legal (Peace of Mind) test?

• Legal Test: Requires a certified, neutral collector to verify government-issued IDs, take photographs of the participants, and document a strict chain-of-custody. These results are 100% admissible in Texas family courts, immigration cases, and estate settlements.

• Non-Legal Test: Done for personal peace of mind. The collection process (buccal cheek swab) is identical, but because ID verification is skipped, the results cannot be used in a court of law.

Is the testing process painful?

• No. For post-birth paternity and relationship testing, we use a painless buccal (cheek) swab to collect DNA skin cells from the inside of the mouth. Prenatal testing and early gender testing require a standard, routine blood draw.

How fast do I get my results?

• Standard paternity results are typically delivered via secure email within 2 to 3 business days after the laboratory receives all samples.
