Morales Strikes Down Texas Sworn Support Statement Law
Attorney General Dan Morales says a new Texas welfare law requiring marriage license applicants to swear they are not delinquent in child support is probably unconstitutional citing a 1978 Supreme Court ruling. Travis County will continue requiring the sworn statements until a judge decides otherwise. A hot line upgrade will alert crime victims when a convict’s release or parole date changes. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned a ruling allowing habitual criminal prosecutions for repeat offenses without weapons. SWSTU audit questions 1994 Aquarena Springs purchase funding and use of bonds.
