    Have you hired an attorney in TX to represent you at the hearing.
    Is this just a divorce or also a child cusotdy and child support hearing.

    If just a divorce is there a lot of propety to divide, allimony being asked for and so on ?

    If there is no real issues abut appearing why did you not just sign the paper work and allow the divorce

    Well when I got the papers it was talking about how my son cannot leave out the state of tx but I didn't know that was until the divorce was over with and she wanted me to pay an outrageous amount of child support, we agreed to Joint Custody and we have no property to divide, no alimony. None of that stuff.

    This is one of those situations where you can't afford to be there and can't afford not to be there. Your best bet is hire a lawyer to represent you. Your next best effort may be to contact the judge's office; inquire about either a hearing or a "status conference" over the telephone. There is information about your case that the judge needs in order to have an opportunity to make a correct ruling on the issues of your case.
