The Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is the state’s official child support enforcement agency. Depending on your case, the OAG can help with:
- Locating a non-custodial parent
- Establishing paternity
- Establishing and enforcing child support and medical support orders
- Reviewing and adjusting payment amounts
- Collecting and distributing payments
To apply, contact your local field office, call 1-800-252-8014, or apply online at texasattorneygeneral.gov.
A few things worth knowing
- The OAG represents the State of Texas — not you or the other parent — so it’s worth having your own attorney review anything before you sign.
- The OAG doesn’t enforce visitation orders; contact the Dallas office or your county’s Domestic Relations Office for that.
- If you lose your job or fall behind, ask your field office about a child support review — they can work with you if you act promptly.
Call the Dallas office at (214) 953-2233 if you’d like help finding your local OAG field office or preparing for a settlement conference.
