Texas treats paternity or parentage establishing as a contested lawsuit.
The mother wishing to receive child support files the suit for support and the alledged father is served.
The father has the legal right to contest the suit and if he does a paternity test is ordered.
If he does not contest the charge or fails to appear at the hearing he will probably lose the suit by default and child support will be granted.
If the male signed an affidavit of acknowledgement of paternity upon the birth of the child it is extremely difficult to have the status changed.
The best option is to consult with or retain an attorney qualified in family law.

In order to pay child support there would've been a DNA test taken to determine that you really are the father. If you can prove you are not the father with a new DNA test you can go to court and stop the child support. If the mother refuses to help with the DNA test you can get a court order for it.
To get a DNA test through court you have to file through your local courts and also notify the court of why the test is being requested.
