Depending on the age of the child, you should file a motion to confirm the arrearage and set up a payment plan. Also, the IV-D agency (AG in TX) will notify the IRS of the arrearage and the IRS will seize his tax refunds each year. If he and his new wife file jointly, you'll get her tax return too.
If you can get the arrearage reduced to a money judgment, you can go after bank accounts that have his name on them.
Other than that, his new wife cannot be held directly responsible for his child support debt.
