Law to fortify child support
United Press International
AUSTIN — Attorney Gener
al Jim Mattox said Wednesday
his office will use a constitutional
amendment that allows wage
garnishment to enforce court-
ordered child support payments
as soon as the freshly-passed me
asure becomes law.
The garnishment proposal,
along with nine other proposed
constitutional amendments, was
approved by an overwhelming
margin in Tuesday’s election.
Only one amendment, a propos
al to allow tax exemptions for
certain fraternal and veterans
organizations, was defeated.

n New®!family left Johnson City
apparently to go to Austin for a
shopping trip on Nov. 1, but
they have not been seen or heard
from since.
Police said they left a roast
simmering in a slow cooker and
most of their possessions behind
at their Johnson City apartment.
Charles Matus, who owns the
Charles Motel where Cooper
worked, said it wasn’t like Coop
er to go off without telling some
one he was not coming back.
“If he moved on because he
just wanted to move on, fine, he
had a right to,” Matus said. “But
if he’s hurt, if something has
happened to him and his family,
then I think we have to try and
find out about it.”

child support another form of
child abuse,” Mattox said. “It’s
just as serious an abuse as if
someone goes in and physically
abuses the child. If this won’t
make them pay, we’ll seek con
tempt orders and throw them in
jail until they do pay.”
Mattox said his office would
use the garnishment amend
ment primarily in cases where a
single parent is receiving wel
fare payments because child
support owed by an absent pa
rent is unpaid.
Under state law, Mattox’s
office is responsible for collect
ing child support payments
owed to persons who receive
payments from the Aid to Fami
lies with Dependent Children
program. He said his office
would also aid some single pa
rents who could not afford a
lawyer to pursue a wage garnish
ment order.
“I think you are going to see
child support payments increase
dramatically,” he said. “When it
becomes socially unacceptable
not to pay your child support,
people will pay it. That’s where
we have got to get to.”
Mattox also said the threat of
garnishment will be enough to
persuade many parents to pay
U P' . .
“I thinkjust not wanting their
employer to know what situation
they are in will cause a lot of
people to pay,” he said.
Only slightly more than 11
percent of Texas 6.5 million vo
ters turned out for the off-year
election, which featured no
races for statewide office. A
large percentage of the vote
came from Houston, where a
contested mayoral race gener
ated voter interest.
Other propositions approved
by voters included amendments
that remove the governor from
the pardons and parole process,
set up a new veterans’ mortgage
assistance program, establish
procedures for operating the _
Legislature in case of nuclear
attack and authorizing state
money to be used as a guarantee
for bonds issued by local school
districts.
In addition, voters approved
amendments that allow small
counties to maintain fewer jus
tices of the peac;e and constable
precincts, change Texas’ homes
tead exemption from $10,000 to
one acre of land, allow commod
ity groups to charge farmers a
“refundable” fee for promoting
their products and permit coun
ty probate judges to substitute
for other judges in other coun
ties.
