It sounds as if the other State gained exclusive continuing jurisdiction over the child when it issued a final order granting you �full custody.� The order from the other state is considered a �foreign order� and should be registered (in the appropriate court in Texas) with a request for enforcement. In certain circumstances, Texas Courts will issue warrants to take possession of children. In order to comply with the law, this answer assumed the child while in your possession was not being subjected to or threatened with mistreatment or abuse. Call to discuss additionally.
