Sent off my application on the 3rd. Received my signature confirmation from USPS today in the mail and now I wait. One question that has been concerning me is the disqualifier for delinquent child support. At one time several years ago I was collected on by the Texas AG office due to an employer screw up. I was behind by a few payments, It was taken care of and paid off. I still make regular payroll deductions through my work to keep everything current. It is never late and my account balance is caught up. Is this going to be a problem, or am I being paranoid??


Thanks...

Sounds good to me.


IMHO, that is only if you are currently deliquent.

You're not currently delinquent, so you're good.

Thanks for the response. It does make me feel better, but I will be even better when I have plastic in hand....

Call OAG and ask for a "Clearance Letter" It is good to have that anyway. My Ex-Wife has never paid a dime. OAG won't do a darned thing...

Thats wrong Bro. The OAG was all over my case, in a nutt shell my employer changed the way that we get paid and failed to change the way that they withold my CS. I got 1500 behind and I had letters, phone calls, you name it they where doing it. I got the CS amount fixed and paid a lump some just to get the OAG off of my back. Now every 3 years they drag me into their office and adjust my CS with what I am making.

She moved to Oklahoma, does not work, does not report her new addresses to the state or courts. Is on welfare, WIC, Section 8 housing. When Texas finally DOES find her, whch takes years, she moves before they can server her. When are they gonna realize that sending her a letter in the mail is a tip off to get the hell outta dodge so she doesn't get served? Texas OAG SC Division, buncha idiots...

I even contacted a PI to try to locate her so I can server her myself, too expensive though... :-(

You are good to go. You can be currently behind on child support and still get a CHL. As long as you have a payment schedule set up with OAG they will approve you. I know because when the ex and i first got divorced they made me pay child support back to when we got seperated (6 months earlier) and there was no way i was coming up with $3500 that quick. I made arrangements with OAG to repay her $100 extra a month and i was set. Still got my 1st CHL with a $2000 balance on the books at OAG. The law is set up to not allow dead-beat-dads to get a CHL.
