Answer:
In Texas, child support generally continues until a child turns 18. If the child is still in high school at that age, support continues until they graduate. If the child has a disability, support may continue indefinitely. However, Texas law does not require child support for college expenses or during college. If both parties agree, they can create a contract to cover college support.
