SECTION 55.140. Recoupment of Collections Reversed after Distribution

(a) By receiving and negotiating a child support payment through a state warrant, the Texas Debit card, or direct deposit into a bank account from the State of Texas, all custodial parents or other persons entitled to receive child support consent to the Office of the Attorney General's policy for recovering payments which have been reversed after they have been disbursed.

(b) Any person receiving Child Support Payment Processing services from the Office of the Attorney General, who receives and negotiates a child support payment, must repay the amount of that payment if the Office of the Attorney General subsequently notifies them that the collection has been reversed. Full payment must be received within 30 days of the Office of the Attorney General sending notice of the reversal. Failure to make timely payment will result in all future child support collections being withheld and applied to the debt until it is fully satisfied.
