Yes. Here is the link to read on this yourself.

Yes if the child support is behind since the court date and the date the Child Support was entered into court, then that past due child support is to be paid by the non custodial parent.
Usually it is more then the normal monthly or weekly payment such as:
The non custodial parent owes 200.00 a week in child support payments.
But is behind 2000.00 dollars.
So the Child Support Enforcement will send you 250.00 dollars a week, if you are not collecting any welfare support for your child, TANF or Food Stamps and are working steady..
IF the non custodial parent gets a lump sum payment of any sort, lottery winnings, Federal and State Taxes.. that will go to you for the behind amount owed.
So yes. It is retroactive though you will not get it until the child support is paid by the non custodial parent pays.
And this is in most states not just Texas.

Is back child support owed if you paid child support?
This assumes that you're asking about retroactive support (support due for a period prior to the entry of the first order), not unpaid support that accrued as the result of an order. Retroactive support is typically awarded (or not) at the entry of the original order for ongoing support. At that time, the court should give the obligor credit for voluntary support furnished during the period covered by the retroactive support award.
