[1] In 2003, the legislature changed the title of a child support master to associate judge for Title IV-D cases.
See Act of May 27, 2003, 78th Leg., R.S., ch. 1258, §§ 2-15, 25-28, 2003 Tex. Gen. Laws 3564, 3564-68,

Mallory did not appeal the IV-D default judgment order to the referring court; therefore, the order became the
