last name is your married name, if married
Yes, in Hispanic cultures, it is common for individuals to use both their paternal and maternal last names, with the paternal last name coming first followed by the maternal last name.
A paternal name is your father's last name, or his surname. Similarly, a maternal name is your mother's last name, known as her surname and her maiden name (it is her maiden name unless she kept her own name). Paternal and maternal refer to the two sides of your family, your paternal grandparents are your father's parents, and likewise for your maternal parents.
Usually, yes it is. Your paternal name is your father's last name (or his surname) that you and your mother got from him. On a similar note, your maternal name is your mother's last name (also called a maiden name, and it is only called that if she kept her original last name). Maternal and paternalare words that describe which side of the family something is; so for example, your grandparents on your father's side would be your paternal grandparents, and the same for your mother's side of the family.

First off, the paternal father has no assumed rights to the child to express any opinion in the matter, as single fathers have no assumed rights in any state. Second, in Texas the child is considered to be of the marriage. see links below

You can use either your last name or the fathers last name for the child. Neither of my children have my mothers last name, or my fathers for that matter. It is up to you what you want to use.
