Process payments in cases in which the original order was signed prior to January 1, 1994, unless the county has a Registry Conversion contract. Respond to customer inquiries. If a contract is in place, comply with requirements.

15 Roles and Responsibilities (Slide 2 of 2) Others Private attorneys draft orders and interact with OAG attorneys on various cases. Domestic relations offices enforce, supervise, mediate and refer cases. Sheriffs and constables transport prisoners and provide service of process. District and associate judges hear cases and review, approve and sign orders. If customer applies, OAG provides establishment, enforcement, locate, collection and payment services.

16 County Contracts County Contracts

17 SCR/LCS Contracts State Case Registry/Local Customer Service (SCR/LCS) The OAG contracts with counties to promptly enter new order information and updates in TXCSES Web, thereby ensuring timeliness and accuracy of State Case Registry data for efficient processing of child support payments received and disbursed by the State Disbursement Unit (SDU).

18 Counties With SCR/LCS Contract To ensure prompt processing of child support payments, child support order information should be updated on TXCSES Web: Within five business days of the date received time stamp indicating that the order was received by the district clerk or local registry s office, or Within five business days of being notified by the SDU that a payment has been received.

19 Counties Without SCR/LCS Contract Per statute, the clerk of the court has an obligation to update the State Case Registry with case information. [TFC ] Fax or the signed child support court order and/or the Record of Support form free to the SDU as soon as possible. FAX: (877) Obtain the Record of Support form from: TXCSES Web SDU (877) OAG website: ml

20 What Is TXCSES Web? Secure web-based application to enter order information. Each individual user must have his or her own User ID and password. Staff must never share access. Counties use TXCSES Web to: Add and update registry-only case information View full-service case information View payment information View images of payments Find the TXCSES Web Reference Guide, forms, time sensitive notifications

23 Contacts for County Contracts For questions on State Case Registry, Local Customer Service, or Registry Conversion contracts, contact: Robert Canales (512) Debbie Mullen (512)

24 District Clerk s Role in Handling Child Support Payments District Clerk s Role in Handling Child Support Payments

25 Handling Child Support Payments If Child support cases have original orders signed on or after 1/1/94 Child support cases have original orders signed prior to 1/1/94 in counties with a Registry Conversion contract Child support cases have original orders signed prior to 1/1/94 in counties without a Registry Conversion contract Then Direct payments to the SDU Direct payments to the SDU County continues to process payments on pre-1994 cases

26 Handling Misapplied Payments Immediately notify the SDU at (877) when a payment is misapplied and/or erroneously disbursed. The OAG will handle the reapplication and redistribution of funds and attempt to recover the money from the party that received the money in error.

27 Summary Direct all child support payments on post-1994 cases to the SDU. Continue to process cases in which the original order was signed prior to January 1, 1994, if you do not have a Registry Conversion agreement with the OAG.
