Application for Direct Deposit--Child Support Direct Deposit Option

Deposit your child support payments directly into your account.

Application for Child Support Enforcement Packet:

To obtain enforcement services for child support and medical support on cases with an original order date before 7/1/09, or visitation enforcement services, you must fill out an Enforcement Application Form pdf document and an Affidavit of Direct Payment Form (if applicable) and return it to Domestic Relations with a one time $20.00 dollar enforcement fee.

The Direct Payment form must be completed if, after the date of your court order, you received payments directly from the payer and not through the Travis County Domestic Relations Office or the State Disbursement Unit. If this applies to you, then this affidavit must be completed and signed in front of a notary and returned to the Domestic Relations Office.

Mailing Address

If your original court order was signed after 7/1/09, the case will be automatically enforced with no requirement for an application to DRO.

Intake Form & Request to Establish an Account (Data Sheet)

Every person that pays or receives child support must fill out a Intake Form & Request to Establish An Account (Yellow Data Sheet) in order for an account to be established at the Domestic Relations Office. If you are court ordered to pay child support through the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) in San Antonio, you still must submit this form to Domestic Relations.

Domestic Relations is the office in Travis County that is responsible for furnishing the SDU with the information that they need to process your payments. You must provide social security numbers so that we can issue the income withholding order to the employer. Employers will not accept income withholding orders without a social security number. This information is kept confidential and is not available to the public.

These forms are also available on yellow paper at Domestic Relations, 1010 Lavaca and at the District Clerk's Office, Family Section, in the courthouse. You can mail this form to Domestic Relations at PO Box 1495, Austin, Texas 78767, fax this form to Domestic Relations at 512-854-9816 or deliver the form in person to 1010 Lavaca across the street from the Courthouse.

Any questions about the form should be directed to 512-854-9696.
