He can contact the mother to see if she will agree to a reduction in child support. If so, then a petition to modify can be filed with the court and an agreed order entered. It's not expensive and may not even require a visit to Texas. Without such an agreement, it's much more difficult. If she does not agree, then it is possible to get the Texas AG's office to assist for free. If not, you will have to reatin an attorney.
