Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am in Texas, in April of this year a standard court order for child support and visitation was put in order. The father has yet to exercise his visitation being that was almost 4 months ago if he were to show up at my door to take the kids do I have any right to say no?

Basically, you can only go back once a year to change an order - unless it's an emergency -- such as he is arrested for endangering a child or arrested for a dui or drugs. Something that is really bad.
