In the past, our office was responsible for issuing receipts for child support payments. However, due to changes made by the Texas Legislature, child support payments, address changes, account set-up, and other child support–related matters should now be directed to the Office of the Attorney General’s State Disbursement Unit at (800) 252-8014 / 713-243-7100 or the Harris County Domestic Relations Office at (713) 274-7300.

The Harris County District Clerk’s Billing department will continue to make available payment history records on cases prior to 2005 and provide service for Notice to Employer of Income Withholding requests. If you are inquiring about a case prior to 2005, complete the Payment History Request form and mail, fax, or email it to our office using the instructions on the form.

Child Support Payment Options

We no longer accept child support cash payments; however, you may make cash deposit payments in one of the kiosks available in the Civil Courthouse (201 Caroline) or the Family Law Center (1115 Congress) or you may make a payment via personal check, cashier's check, or money order by mail to:

Please make your check or money order payable to TXCSDU and include your case number with your payment. If a case number is not provided, it will delay the processing of your payment or it may be returned to you for additional information.
