In the Interest of D.R.C., Jr., a child
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. C-105,767-B
Don Ray Collins appeals the denial of his petition to terminate the administrative writ of withholding. Because the appeal involves the application of well-settled principles of law, we deliver this memorandum opinion. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.1.
The original decree of divorce was entered in 1979; a child support arrearage was reduced to judgment in 1994, and a withholding order issued; the child reached majority in March 1995; the Attorney General's Office filed a notice of administrative writ of withholding in May 2000. The sole point of error raises the following issue: "Whether the enforceability of a child support judgment or the issuance of an administrative writ is barred by limitations and is in violation of Appellant's rights under Art. 1, Sec. 16, Constitution of the State of Texas." The sole authority in support of the appellant's argument, our opinion In the Interest of A.D., 8 S.W.3d 466 (Tex. App.--Beaumont 2000) was reversed by the Supreme Court shortly after the appellant filed his brief. See In the Interest of A.D., 73 S.W.3d 244 (Tex. 2002). The appellant's previously adjudicated child support obligation may be enforced. Id.; see also Act of May 21, 1997, 75th Leg., R.S., ch. 911, § 67, 1997 Tex. Gen. Laws 2864, 2878-79 (amended 1999, 2001) (current version at Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 158.502 (Vernon Supp. 2002)). Therefore, the trial court did not err in denying the motion to terminate the administrative writ of withholding. Point of error one is overruled. The judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
