Can an officer of the law give a minor an alcohol test without parental consent?

My 17 year old daughter was staying with an adult girlfriend(18 years old)..The officers came with a complaint of a wild party(there were 4 people there),,The owner of the apartment asked for a warrant and the officers pushed past her and went through the whole apartment..They then told my daughter to blow on a machine ,she was not intoxicated…I was not called and she was left in the residence..
I am so interested because she is a minor, she could have continued drinking after the cops left and ultimately died…I am so INTERSTED because I love and care for my daughter who made a bad choice…

In Texas, can I legally change my daughters name on her birth certificate without the fathers consent?

My daughter’s are 4 and 5 and there father has been absent for 4 years. He basically left right after our second daughter was born. He called a few years ago, but when he found out our divorce and a child support order went through without him there, he never called again. I would like to give the girls my last name and wondered if I can amend their birth certificate without his consent. He fled a felony probation charge for a DWI and will have to serve a prison sentence for failing a urinalysis on probation if he ever comes back. I really never expect to see him again and would not be able to find him if I wanted to because he intentionally works under the table to avoid giving a social security number to anyone.
