I believe the answer will be in your child support order. In Texas the language usually states until child turns 18 or graduates from highschool whichever comes "last". So if they turn 18 while a senior in highschool you would still pay the support until after they graduate.

Ends at 19th birthday or graduation whichever comes first.
