Father dosen't want to pay for school. My mother and he had an oral agreement and he is aware of this, but still refuses to pay. Can I take him to court?

Re: College funding
In Texas, a parent is not obligated to pay for child support after a child graduates from high school and/or over the age of 18. There are some exceptions to this -- they can be found in the Texas Family Code. It's on the internet but I don't know the exact address. Go to any major search engine and enter Texas Family Code and you should find it.
A parent can contractually enter into an agreement. It does not sound like you have a written contract to enforce.
Good luck!
