The seven-day sweep, which began last Friday, focused on parents who were the subjects of arrest warrants because of their alleged failure to pay child support.  \u201cParents have a moral and legal obligation to make regular child support payments,\u201d Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (pictured) said. \u201cBy collecting child support, we are ensuring young Texans have the resources they need to grow healthy and strong. We are grateful to Sheriff McCool and Police Chief Stan Spence for their commitment to Texas children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s sweep targeted parents who are wanted for contempt of court because of their alleged failure to pay child support. After holding a Friday evening briefing, teams of law enforcement officers were dispatched to locate and arrest the allegedly noncompliant parents. According to information from the Texas Attorney General&#8217;s Office, Child Support Division investigators supported the effort by providing logistical assistance to locate unsuspecting parents.  Parents arrested on civil warrants face up to six months in jail. Cash bonds posted by parents seeking release from jail are paid to the custodial parents and children who are owed back child support, according to officials.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say parents with child support warrants should contact the Harrison County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Parents who have fallen behind on their child support payments \u2013 but are not subject to warrants for their arrest \u2013 should immediately contact the Attorney General\u2019s Child Support Division at (800) 252-8014 to make payment arrangements, according to officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARSHALL \u2013 Harrison County Sheriff Tom McCool and Marshall Police Chief Stan Spence have arrested 11 Harrison County parents who allegedly failed to pay their court-ordered child support.
