Should I file to go back to court in california before he does in texas? Will I have to travel to texas to battle this?

If the divorce was originally files in CA, then the case remains here. You should speak with a family law attorney about taking him to court for support.
If he files anything in TX you will have to respond, but you will most likely never have to appear in court there. Once advised of the existing California case, the TX court will throw his TX case out, and if you have to hire an attorney in TX to file papers the court will probably order him to reimburse your attorneys fees.
