Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child support agreement states that I must pay child support until child is 18 or graduates from high school. Child is already 18 and last day of school before graduation is June 2. Can I pro-rate the child support. I am going to pay for the child's college and her mother refuses to help, so i would like to save the money for child's college tuition.
