DNA collection and testing coordination for every family situation
Choose a private test for personal peace of mind, or a documented legal collection when results must be presented to a court, agency, or attorney.
Paternity DNA Testing

Mobile DNA Collection
We come to you — home, office, hospital, attorney's office, or care facility across the DFW metroplex.
Evening and weekend appointments available by request
Same professional documentation standards as in-office collections
Convenient for newborns, seniors, shift workers, and multi-party appointments
Private vs. legal testing
Private / informational
Same laboratory analysis, but participants are not formally identity-verified, so the results are for personal knowledge only and cannot be used in court.
Legal chain of custody
Identity is verified and documented at collection, and specimens stay in a controlled, witnessed chain — the standard required for child support, custody, immigration, estate, and other official matters.
Legal, court-admissible chain-of-custody DNA testing in Allen and Collin County
When DNA results will be presented to a court, a child support office, an immigration authority, or an estate attorney, the collection itself must be documented. For those cases LegacyLink performs a legal chain-of-custody collection: each participant is identified with government-issued photo ID, photographed, and swabbed by a trained collector, and the specimens are sealed in tamper-evident packaging with signed custody paperwork. Legal DNA testing is coordinated through our AABB-accredited laboratory partner, which performs all laboratory analysis and issues the official report. LegacyLink Testing & Compliance Services LLC is an independent specimen collection and testing coordination company and is not itself AABB accredited.
Relationship DNA testing when the alleged father cannot be tested
Paternity is not the only way to answer a family question. Sibling, grandparent, and aunt/uncle (avuncular) testing compare a child with other close biological relatives when the alleged father is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to participate. Each of these relationship tests is available as an informational test for personal knowledge or as a documented legal collection. You can review current test pricing, read the frequently asked questions, or request an appointment.
