So does not want to go see his dad for long times since he is getting older and wanting to live his own life. We live in Iowa and the devorce decree is in Texas that says he has Vistiation for 42 days in summer which is way more than my son wants to go.

Do you have a custody decree that you review from time to time? If so, you want to go in/your child may want to go in and have it amended based on his wishes. Does he have the job? Already having one may help him. You may wish to review the following:
