In general, the statute of limitations in Texas for most civil claims is two years from the date a dispute occurred.
If the case you need help with does not involve jail time or a criminal fine, then it is probably a civil case. Some examples of civil cases are cases about family issues, such as divorce, child support, child custody, and name changes.
You don't have an unlimited amount of time to file a lawsuit. You'll have to bring it within the statute of limitations period for your particular case. For example, you'll have four years for written and oral contracts and two years for injury and property damage claims.
In most Texas civil courts, however, it is over $200 to file a claim. If an individual cannot afford to file and falls below the Federal Poverty Guidelines, the plaintiff may ask the court to waive or reduce their filing fee.
When you give your petition to the clerk, you should be ready to pay a filing fee. Filing fees are often $200 or more. If you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, you may file a statement of inability to afford to ask the court to waive the fee for you.

If both parents agree to end child support, the proper way to end the obligation is by filing a motion with the court to terminate child support. The order MUST BE SIGNED BY A JUDGE to be effective. Ask the OAG is this has been done. If it has not you are still obligated under a court order to pay child support.
