Child Support can be taken from your net resources as defined in the Texas Family Code.

You can read the TX Family Code which is available on-line for free.

You don't explain how your money was "taken".

If the money was debited out of a checking account, and there was a judgement against you signed by a judge, then yes, the money can be "taken". I suspect that is what you are complaining about

If you have any questions, you need to talk to a family law attorney. In the Houston area, I highly recommend attorney Patricia Bushman at 713-807-9405. I rent space in her law office. I do not work for her. I only rent space in her large office.

Without more information, it is impossible to answer your question more fully.

Good luck.
