Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I have a 23 yr old son who I recently saw and spoke to after numerous years of not seeing him and he tells me he is not getting any of the child support (arrears) that are being garnished from my paycheck. My question would be is there any LEGAL way the money can be sent directly to my son versus his mother who is using the money for herself and her new family..while my adult son struggles to pay his rent and support himself?

No. Child support (under your original order) was payable to Mom, not to the children. It's her money, not theirs.
