You could (theoretically) hire a lawyer (with money you are short on right now), try to track your ex down either in TX or elsewhere, file on the grounds that you were a minor, get a judgment, then try to collect from Mr. Carnival.
This will take money, time, patience and luck. Your expiring lease, broken-down car, and "so many things to pay for," means that you have don't have the money or the time right now.
And that leaves aside the point that the lease contract may simply be invalid with respect to you anyway, or at least unenforceable in any practical way.
Honestly, I would focus on getting legal assistance to find reliable housing and an income to set up your case for custody. Your child is the first priority, obviously. The last thing in the world you want to be doing right now is chasing down ancient debts through long-shot lawsuits that will take forever against a broke-ass guy without a penny to his name.
