Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If a decree has been modified serveral times and last one a jury trila for custody was held does the last modified complete orders trump all other orders? I have an order from judge from Jan. of 2001 that does not have something that orders before modified had in them. Do I have to follow the last orders? What can I do if father will not allow mental treatment for 14 and 16 year old children if it is not in orders?

A modifying order modifies only those parts of the previous order(s) that it modifies. Anything that it doesn't modify remains unchanged.
