If the non custodial parent does not pick up his child at his time in Texas is he in trouble?
Yes. But it's not called "trouble", the court will call it "contempt". However, YOU must file a motion citing him for contempt of the Standard Possession Order.
Attempt to reach out to this father and find out why he's neglecting his child by his absence. Car trouble? Gas prices forcing him to limit his travel? Or, worse, he's having some kind of personal crisis? If he has no fair reason to offer or, you are unable to com to an ammicable resolution, then you should consider your custody options.
If you have joint custody and the father continues to neglect his child by neglecting his time as provided in an SPO, you may want to consider filing for sole custody with supervised visits in order to protect the best interests of the child.
However, do not file any motion if you're only seeking to "punish" the father, it will backfire.
Good luck and Godspeed.

What else can I help you with?
Can a custodial parent deny a child that has turned 18 visitation to a non custodial parent?
No. The child is now eighteen and he or she can make their own decision although that may cause trouble if the child still lives with the "custodial" parent.
In Texas what can a non custodial parent do when trying to get custody of child and custodial parent doesnt cooperate?

In the state of Texas if you are seventeen and your parent is receiving child support does the child have to live at home for parent to continue child support?
Yes. Child support is for the "custodial parent". If you are not living at home with your custodial parent, then they are no longer eligible to receive child support. However, the non-custodial parent can request a modification if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent and that includes a change of custody. A 17 yr old is not emancipated in Texas, unless proper procedures through the courts have taken place. If that is the case, then the custodial parent and child are no longer eligible for child support.
In Texas can a custodial parent still file the child for income tax if the child has been living with non custodial parent for more than six months?
no
Will a non-custodial parent get into legal trouble if they let their child live with them because the child refuses to go home to the custodial parent?
That parent would be in violation of a court order, so yes, they would be in trouble. The adult makes the decisions, not the child. The child should be put into a car and driven home.
Can custodial parent waive child support arrears in Texas?
Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.
Does the non-custodial parent need to have insurance on the child when paying child support in Texas?
Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement. If the parent loses their insurance and the custodial parent has the ability to insure the child - it will be possible for the state to order the custodial parent to do so. This may change the amount of support the non custodial parent pays - it is entirely up to the whim of the courts.
If I am the custodial parent in Texas and the non-custodial parent doesn't pay child support how can I take all his parental rights?
You can't. One has nothing to do with the other.
When is a child old enough to chose the custodial parent in Texas?

How much trouble would the noncustodial parent get in for keeping their child without consent of court or the custodial parent if said child wishes to stay with the noncustodial parent?
If the noncustodial parent tries to keep the child, the custodial parent can get the noncustodial parent charged with kidnapping and contempt of court both can be jail time for the noncustodial.
What constitutes custodial parent in reference to child support?
The custodial parent is the parent with custody/guardianship of the child.
Can you get in trouble if your 12 year old does not go home to her mother?
I assume this is a case of the child being with the non-custodial parent and not wanting to go back to the custodial's parent when visitation is over? IF so, and if you're in the US...absolutely you can get in trouble for that.
