If you are the biological parent, then yes.
Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.
yah i think so how old is the child?
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
If the father wants custody rights, this would be usable in court.
no the child will not lose that parents name. i currently have 2 children i'v lost my rights to and they still carry my name. the only way they can lose your last name is if you sign saying you accept the name change, nobody can just strip somebody of there legal born name.

Single fathers have no rights
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, known as UNCRC is a human rights treaty designed to protect the child. The convention defines a child as being any human being under the age of 18. The last convention on the rights of a child was held on 20th November 1989, which was the first legally binding act of its kind incorporating the rights of child.
You can't legally change your child's name with out her father's consent. The only way around it would be to ask him to sign over his rights, but if he does you may hinder your child's right to collect child support.
You can yes, in the jurisdiction of the child's last known legal residence.
no difference. the law doesn't take into account the name of the child.

If the parents are married. Single mothers can apply her last name, but a single father can file to have that changed after he's been granted parental rights by the court. Single fathers have no such rights until then, even when paying child support.see link
probably not since he is not taking responsibility so why would you even want to use his last name. I think you should use yours then later on if he decides to be man and take on his child then you can change the baby's last name.

he would carry no responsibility for the child, even after a divorce.
