Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My ex husband owes $1400 on a credit card that is in my name per the divorce decree. I want to know if I can sue him for the lump sum or do I have to keep allowing him to make the min pmt?

I think what you're saying is that there's a credit card account that your ex was ordered to pay, and the account is in your name.
Is there some time limit (in the decree) that requires him to pay it off within a certain period of time? If not, then you can't object to him making the minimum payment each month.
In any case, there really isn't a remedy when these debt provisions (in divorce decrees) aren't honored.
