         WHEREAS, The Texas Attorney General's Office--Child Support
  Division has been named the recipient of the 2007 Outstanding
  Program Award from the National Child Support Enforcement
  Association; and
         WHEREAS, A nonprofit membership organization that represents
  the child support community, NCSEA works to promote the well-being
  of children through advocacy, public awareness, and professional
  development opportunities; each year, it recognizes a state,
  regional, tribal, or county program that consistently and
  comprehensively exemplifies the best in child support enforcement
  through an outstanding record of performance and the provision of
  effective services to its constituency and community; and
         WHEREAS, For fiscal year 2006, Texas collected more than $2
  billion in child support, representing a 62 percent success rate on
  current claims and a 67 percent success rate on past-due ones;
  collecting $7.52 for every dollar spent, this cost-effective
  program also successfully established paternity in 92 percent of
  its cases; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas child support program was also commended
  for the number of initiatives it has developed to maintain quality
  and consistency; these include the Employer One-Stop, a website
  that provides a single location for employers to obtain information
  and perform child support-related functions, the child support
  review process, which allows parents to negotiate child support
  orders without going to court, and early intervention and
  monitoring, an automated process for tracking payments on new
  cases; and
         WHEREAS, In addition, the Child Support Division surveys
  constituents to determine its effectiveness in providing services,
  and local offices are actively engaged with their communities; and
         WHEREAS, Offering invaluable services for single parents and
  their children, the Texas Attorney General's Office--Child Support
  Division makes a significant difference in the lives of Texas
  families, and this award justly acknowledges the program's
  impressive achievements; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas Attorney General's
  Office--Child Support Division on its receipt of the 2007
  Outstanding Program Award from the National Child Support
  Enforcement Association and extend to all those associated with the
  program sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the division as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
