The Texas Debit Card is a safe, fast and convenient way to receive child support payments. It provides easy access
to your money at all times and can be used at merchant locations worldwide. You will no longer wait for checks to reach you through
the mail or suffer delays resulting from lost or stolen checks. With this card, those issues disappear.
Many of us here can recall the devastation that hit the New Orleans area last year. Due to massive damage by
Hurricane Katrina, thousands of parents did not receive their child support money because mail delivery was disrupted. Having the
option of a Texas Debit Card would have given many parents immediate access to their funds at most merchant locations or local banks.
Imagine the difference this card would have made to those individuals during that critical period.
If Houston area residents are ever again forced to evacuate due to a disaster such as a hurricane, the Texas Debit
Card will allow custodial parents to take their child support with them.
We strongly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity by signing up for the card. It is an electronic
alternative to receiving child support checks through the mail. Custodial parents who use the card can make purchases and withdraw
cash at banks, ATMs and everywhere VISA® cards are accepted. Users can immediately activate the card by selecting a PIN as instructed
on the card carrier.
Should you have any questions regarding the card, please do not hesitate to contact 1-866-729-6159
and a Customer Service Representative will gladly assist you.
