IRMA, The Judge will set the minimum amount for support since he has no job, I don't know what that is in your State, if he doesn't pay it, then you take it before your County or District Attorney and he files charges against him. IRMA, frankly, who gives a crap if gets madder or not? This is not about you or him, its about your child and what she is entitled to from her deadbeat father! Its also your parental duty and responsibility to do everything you can to see that he does his share. Trust me, Texas is not kind to people who break the law, so if he doesn't pay, the judge will send him to jail. He can either get a job, or stay in jail, his choice.
