Almost all of the child support that is ordered by the Denton County District Courts is now directed to be paid through the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) in San Antonio for accounting and disbursement. Any questions regarding receipt, disbursement, address changes, etc should be directed to the SDU. The address and phone for the SDU are:
Exceptions
Exceptions are those cases that the order for child support is dated before January 1, 1994. The majority of the older case orders may require child support to be sent to the Denton County District Clerk, however, The District Clerk does not receive or give receipt for child support payments. Again, payments should be made through Texas Child Support SDU.
The Denton County Districts Clerk’s office is not a child support enforcement office. If you are not being paid the support that is owed to you, then you must contact either a private attorney or the Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Enforcement Division for enforcement of your support order.
