Court-admissible paternity results, immigration DNA collection, and confidential at-home answers — handled with strict chain of custody by DOT-qualified collectors. Same-day and mobile options available.
Whether you need results a court will accept, a sample an embassy will recognize, or simple peace of mind, Elite Compliance & Logistics collects DNA the right way the first time. The test you book depends on why you need the answer.
Every collection we perform follows a documented procedure. For legal and immigration cases, that means a verified chain of custody — photo identification, witnessed swabbing, sealed and tracked samples — so the result holds up where it counts. For private informational testing, the process is faster and fully confidential. Below is a quick guide to which option fits your situation.

When results need to stand up in a Texas family court — child support, custody, visitation, or amending a birth certificate — you need a legal test with a verified chain of custody. We confirm identities, witness each cheek swab, photograph participants, and seal the samples so the report is court-admissible. This is the option attorneys and judges require.
USCIS petitions and U.S. embassy or consulate cases often request DNA proof of a biological relationship between a petitioner and a beneficiary. We handle the documented collection on the Houston side with the chain of custody these agencies expect, and coordinate sample handling so your immigration case stays on schedule.
If you only want a personal, private answer and never plan to use it in court, an informational test is the simplest and quickest route. Collection stays confidential, results are for your knowledge only, and there is no legal chain of custody attached. Many families start here, then upgrade to a legal test later if needed.
DNA collection is a quick cheek swab — no needles, no discomfort. Here is what to expect from booking to results.
Call 281-512-2112 or book online. We confirm whether you need a legal, immigration, or at-home test and set an in-office or mobile appointment.
A DOT-qualified collector swabs the inside of the cheek. For legal and immigration tests, we verify ID, photograph participants, and document the chain of custody.
Sealed samples are tracked to the laboratory. Standard turnaround is typically a few business days, with results reported securely and discreetly.
You get a clear report. Legal and immigration results arrive in the documented, admissible format the court or agency requires.
Both parties do not always have to be present at the same time — we can coordinate separate collection appointments when participants are in different locations. Because we are licensed and insured and offer after-hours and mobile service, we can come to a home, office, or attorney's office anywhere in the Houston area.

The wrong test type can cost you time and money. Use this quick rule of thumb before you book.
Your result will be used for child support, custody, a birth certificate change, an estate or inheritance matter, Social Security benefits, or any immigration petition. These uses require the documented chain of custody only a legal collection provides. An at-home result will not be accepted.
You simply want a private, personal answer for your own peace of mind and have no plan to present it to a court or government agency. It is faster and confidential. If your situation changes later, we can always perform a legal collection on top of it.
