Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 118 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a district or county attorney to transfer payments of court-ordered child support to the appropriate entity when received from a person who is required to pay the child support through a local registry or the office of the attorney general. The act requires a person who is convicted of or receives deferred adjudication for failure to pay child support and is ordered to pay restitution to make the payments to the community and supervision department for transfer to the appropriate entity if the person is under community supervision or directly to the local registry or office of the attorney general if the person is not under supervision.
