Child Support Results in Smith County

TYLER — The Smith County Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday that a total of 37 parents were arrested for violating court orders of paying child support. The sweep from last weekend was conducted in conjunction with the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Division to locate parents wanted for failing to pay court-ordered child support. Numerous others called in to get warrants cleared.

If you have outstanding child support warrants you can avoid the stigma of being arrested at your home or work by turning yourself in. Additionally, parents who are delinquent on their payments but are not yet subject to a warrant should call the Attorney General’s Child Support Division at (800) 252-8014 to make payment arrangements.
