High court rules delinquent child support can't detain debtor indefinitely
State Supreme Court reverses a Johnson County district ruling, holding a man cannot be jailed indefinitely if he proves he cannot pay delinquent child support. Other decisions include setting February 21 for malpractice appeal in Jim Wells County, upholding denial of city damages in a Corpus Christi crash case, and upholding a death sentence in the Alton Charles case. The court also considers a Bishop Ranger injunction and a separate U.S. Supreme Court step allowing Texas and New Mexico to sue Colorado over a Rio Grande water debt.
