  1. ““The attempt to subject to the payment of court costs and the attorney’s fee the interest of plaintiff in error in his homestead was altogether unauthorized. The homestead character of the land was not destroyed by the decree of divorce. Mr. Jeter, notwithstanding the custody of the children had been awarded to their mother, remained the head of a family; his parental interest in the welfare of his children subsisted; and both a legal and moral obligation rested upon him for their proper care and support.

(Const. art. 16, § SO; Speer [& Goodnight] v. Sykes, 119 S.W. 86 , 102 Tex. 451 , 132 Am.St. Rep. 896; Shook v. Shook (Tex.Civ. App.) 145 S.W. 682, 684, 685 .””
