No. The child support was owed to the custodial parent and not the child. In order to obtain a judgment lien the adult children would need legal standing to bring suit in civil court- they wouldn't qualify. Also, there may be a statute of limitations. They, and their mother, should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to determine if their mother can file a claim against the estate.

In Texas how can estranged adult children of first marriage be sure their rights are protected upon the death of their father?
At the death of the father the adult child or children can file a claim against the estate with the probate court.
