I’m still not sure why the state of Texas does this, but every time they do it I’m going to call it out (and I’m going to file complaints with the National Child Support Agency over Texas refusing to “fix” their computer systems in more than a decade). I have had to file for good cause against child support enforcement on my youngest son’s case twice now… once in 2014, once in 2022. Both times Texas HHSC found that my youngest son was conceived in rape and that attempting to enforce the order so that my family could receive state benefits would endanger both me and that child. But with the exception of last year, their computer systems “mysteriously” open the case up for enforcement, and then the Austin child support office claims that it takes up to ninety days to close the case out in their systems… that is, until I started fedding the Austin child support office reporting them to the National Child Support Agency, resulting in them being found at fault for not fixing this problem going on seven times now. It seems that we are working on the eighth time.

Ever since the “chief ombudsman” of the Austin child support office found out that I’d called her out for being the Attorney General’s newest mistress, she’s gone to significant lengths to close the case back out as soon as I notice it’s been opened. This is rich given that she tried to refuse to act on the good cause waiver that Texas HHSC repeatedly sent them saying that they “were going to work the case anyway”, which resulted in me getting a lawyer who informed them that any such attempt to refuse to honor the waiver in question would result in Ken Paxton himself being brought to court and possibly being made to pay out a significant sum in damages. That shut the Austin child support office right up, and I haven’t had to deal with them refusing to do their jobs since this point with the exception of their computer systems “mysteriously” opening my son’s case up at random intervals. On top of that, Paxton having gloated that he is friends with my rapist’s family means that the Austin child support office is no longer allowed to touch my son’s case at all.
