The state of Texas has just passed a new law and if you’re a dead beat parent, this one’s for you.
Beginning on September 1, any parent who is behind on child support will not be able to renew their vehicle registration. According to officials, the law is a direct plan to push said parents to take care of their children.
“I want to urge the public to be aware this law is taking effect, to be prepared and to get in touch with the Attorney General’s office to take care of their obligations,” said Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Mike Sullivan.
While the law does not pertain to registration for new vehicles, it will completely prevent all other vehicle registrations for those behind on payments. A repress from the attorney general’s office has stated that any parent who is behind on child support will receive a letter 90 days prior to the renewal deadline. According to the rep, the letter will a advise the parent to make a payment arrangement along with a satisfactory payment in order to renew their registration.
