Brother owes back support in Nevada, can he get tex CHL?

[gaddang1]

I am new to the forum. I was wondering if my brother who has been residing in Texas for the last 3 years, get a Texas CHL if he owes back support in another state? He went through a bit of a rough patch after a divorce, but with my help and my Dads help, he's been slowly getting back up to where he's supposed to be. He got a good job now, but he works in a rough neighborhood.

I know for a fact, if you owe back support in Texas, you cannot get a Texas Chl, but he owes support in Nevada. I read on another post on this forum that someone who owed back support in Texas, went ahead and got a Utah CHL. Will the reverse work here?

Can he get a Texas CHL while owing back support in Nevada?

Look he ain't perfect, but he's payed off half his arreas in one payment, and the other will spread out over two years to cover his current support and arrears. To my knowledge no judge has ruled him in deliquency of support.

I certainly hope not.

Many people get behind, not because they are trying to dodge paying, but they have job issues or other things that strap them for the money. Until you know the reason, don't judge someone or attack them.

Even in Texas, just owing back support may not be a dis qualifier if they are on a payment program or have not been judged delinquent. I am not sure on out-of-state support how it may impact him. If he is not shown as delinquent, then he may not have any issues at all. It also may be that he wouldn't have any issues period. Hopefully another instructor who has been through this with a student before will be along soon to assist.

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the welcome. His work requires him to go out to remote locations at all hours of the day.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure about the answer to your question but I hope he can get his CHL. Another option could be to get his CHL in Az or Fl and carry on that until he can get his Tx CHL. I would also like to say good on your brother getting his child support caught up. There are many situations in family court that are extremely prejudiced against fathers. Last year my wife was able to take my 3 daughters from our Tx home while I was at work, along with my firearms and all the valuables she could carry and move 1500 miles away to Missouri. She was able to file a fraudulent order of protection against me and file for 1500/month in child support in a MO court. All while we were residents in TEXAS for the past 8 years. I was served paperwork prohibiting me from contacting my wife or children from that Mo judge here in TX. My wife was abusing prescription drugs and sold all my firearms and valuables and I had to spend my time and money traveling to Missouri to defend myself in court, and couldn't contact my kids in the meantime. Texas just happens to be one of the few states where one parent can abscond with the children and it isn't considered kidnapping. Sorry for the rant but nobody has a right to talk smack against a father if they don't know the details. BTW my children are back with me full time and the initial order of protection and child support were dismissed in Mo court. I lost my house and firearms and other valuables but it was worth it...

Hold on WildBill, go wash your eyeballs. I never inferred anything like that. I think the dad's 2nd A SHOULD NOT BE INFRINGED. Regardless of his debt, he should still have the right to self defense. Every person who is behind on payments is NOT a deadbeat dad. I also wish that george could have been a little more restrained with our new board member, gaddang.

Welcome gaddang and explain the origin of your handle.

Texas GC 411.172(10)

has not been finally determined to be delinquent in making a child support payment administered or collected by the attorney general;

So, unless he's been "finally determined", and the payments went to the attorney general (of Texas), he should be OK. YMMV

I guess I need to wash my eyeballs. My comment was directed towards george, but I was actually agreeing with you. I should have used the icon to make myself more clear.

I knew where you were coming from. I just felt the need to reaffirm my position & pick on you about having dirty eye balls.

I agree that everyone who is behind on payments is not a deadbeat dad. However, if I was behind in payments my first priority would be to get back on track rather than spend money on a CHL class, CHL license and gun. Only after I had taken care of my kids would I even consider spending the money for a CHL.
