If my husband and I signed the divorce papers and it was signed by a Judge is this a binding paper as for enforcing the father to pay his child suppot

The divorce decree should state whether there is income withholding, and there should be a separate income withholding order. If there is not one, you should get one. You also should be able to file an enforcement for child support. If the children are on Medicaid, eventually, the attorney general of Texas will file an enforcement. However, sometimes the AG does not file because they are overloaded with cases. You should probably file the enforcement yourself. You can get more information here: texaslawhelp.org.

Can my husband get a divorce without me being notified in any way?

Possibly. If he knows your last known address and sends a divorce petition there that does not get a response, he may ask the court to allow him to have you served by publication in the newspaper or by having the petition left at the front door of your last known address or work address. If the court allows this and you do not respond within 20 days of service, he is entitled to a default judgment and can receive the divorce without your participation.

Which is better for us, annulment or divorce?

First of all, there are very specific requirements you would have to meet for an "annulment". Merely having a brief marriage does not satisfy the requirements for an "annulment". I have represented couples in the past with marriages that terminated in 30 days or less. Regardless of the length of the marriage, if you do not meet the statutory requirements, your request for an "annulment" will be denied and you will have to proceed with a divorce action.
