Senate Bill 1965 amends the Family Code and Natural Resources Code to authorize a court to use teleconferencing, videoconferencing, or other remote electronic means to conduct the release hearing of a respondent who is taken into custody for failure to appear at a child support enforcement hearing or a hearing on the issue of a respondent's indigency in a motion for child support enforcement or a motion to revoke community service in such a suit if the court determines that conducting the hearing in that manner will facilitate the hearing. The bill subjects the proceeds derived from the sale of oil and gas production from an oil or gas well located in Texas to a child support lien and authorizes payments that are subject to a child support lien or an order or writ of withholding from earnings for child support without interest for those oil and gas proceeds to be withheld without interest beyond the requisite time limits for such payments.
