Lubbock Cracking Down on Failure to Pay Child Support

Police across the country are cracking down on parents who fail to pay child support, including officers in Lubbock County, Texas. A recent two- day roundup up negligent parents locked up 15 parents who are being charged with failing to make their payments. Each person can expect up to six months in jail for his or her crime.

If you are a parent in Lubbock County who has an outstanding warrant out for their arrest, you can contact the Warrant Division of the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office to discuss your options. Parents who are behind on their payments can phone the Attorney General's Child Support Division to speak with a representative about making payment arrangements.

Across the state last year the Attorney General collected nearly $3 billion in child support payments; the Lubbock County Attorney General's office contributed $61 million of that amount.
