Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
when my nephews were young we were given sole managing cons. and prior to that a irrevocable power of attorney- the oldest child is profound mental retardation- the court order has his parents paying us child support for life and makes reference to his lifelong disability- does that indicate that we are sole managing cons for his whole life- also with his disability does the power of attorney expire- thanks

Not really sure I understand what you are saying. If this was dome through the family courts both your rights as managing conservators and the parents' rights terminate when the child turns eighteen. You will need to obtain a guardianship through the probate courts. A power of attorney from the parent(s) has no effect after the child is 18 unless they are the guardians.
Go talk to a good attorney who does family and probate work.
