You can file a Petition for Appointment of Guardian at the Family Courthouse, 601 No. Pecos. He must be in your case, custody and control however. Right now, you have indicated that you kicked him out and he is staying with friends. You will need to welcome him back into your home. As his legal guardian, you won't have the ability to "kick him out". You can include a request for child support in your guardianship petition or wait until after the guardianship is filed and apply for child support through the District Attorney's Office.
