Go back to court, tell them he hasn't paid despite the order, and they'll go arrest him. Judges in Texas don't take kindly to deadbeats showing them who is boss. Contact your local office of the Texas Attorney General-Child Support Division. They are charged with this responsibility and take matters very seriously.

You should discuss that issue with an advocate at the court that has jurisdiction over your case or your attorney.

Once arrears have been set you have extraordinary resources that can be accessed through Child Support Enforcement in your jurisdiction.
