In Texas if you relinquish your parental rights are those children entitled to part of your estate if they are not named in your will?

No. It's your Will, and those wishes must be followed. The only thing that will happen is that probate will come into effect after the death of the person, all creditors, house/property taxes and personal taxes are paid off. What is left in the estate after that goes to the person(s) you have named in your Will. ==Additional Information== In Texas, the right to inherit from a biological parent is not cut off by termination of the parent-child relationship, UNLESS the order terminating the relationship so provides. One of my colleagues was involved in a case in which an adopted child, then an adult, was able to unseal the file in which the parent-child relationship was terminated. She used the argument that the right to inherit gave her the right to the information. Having said that, Texas does not have forced heirship. A properly signed Will can disinherit a child, including one from a terminated relationship. A child born after the signing of a Will in which the Will does not provide for after born children is treated as if the child had been included in the Will and the same as the testator's other children or, if the testator had no other children, the child gets the share the child would have gotten had the decedent died intestate.

It depends on whether it was left in a will or a trust. There is generally a rule that "blood" cannot be cut out of an estate. You need an attorney who understands wills or trusts.

Do you have to pay back child support if the kids are grown and the ex wife is dead?
If your children are no longer minors then you don't have to pay child support. However, if a written document was set-up previously that you also pay support for a college education then you have to fulfill this obligation. If you ex-wife left you in her Will (doubtful) she should have stipulations as to what the children will receive from the Estate and this too is an obligation and carried out by an Executor (male), Executrix (female.) The back child support is owed to the estate of the ex wife. She funded the children without that support, robbing them ofmoney that should have been in the estate. If I were the attorney representing her estate or the beneficiaries of that estate, I'd be knocking on your door with a court order!
