KETK-NEWS Delinquent parents arrested on civil warrants face up to six months in jail. Cash bonds posted by delinquent parents seeking release from jail are paid to the custodial parents and children who are owed back child support. To avoid the embarrassment of arrest at home or work, parents with child support warrants should contact the Gregg County Sheriffs Office. Parents who have fallen behind on their child support payments - but are not subject to warrants for their arrest - should immediately contact the Attorney Generals Child Support Division at (800) 252-8014 to make payment arrangements. Under state and federal law, the Office of the Attorney General can assist families who request child support services and must serve families who currently receive or have received public assistance. Services offered by the Child Support Division include locating absent parents; establishing paternity for children born to unmarried parents; establishing, enforcing, and modifying child and medical support orders; and collecting and distributing child support payments. Statewide, child support collected by the Office of the Attorney General exceeded $3.6 billion for the state fiscal year that ended Aug. 31, 2013. The Longview child support office, which covers Gregg and five surrounding counties, collected $50 million of that amount. The Gregg County Sheriffs Office released the names of the offenders Tuesday afternoon. They are listed below: James Edward Smith Sylvia Darlene Gonzalez Benjamin Wazell Taylor Rufus Earl Humphries Jr. Albert Johnson Jr. Adarius Qunta Davenport Michael Gene Duxbury Jr. Jesse Lee Martinez Mykia Delores Pauley Joshua Lee Sullivan Persons on Investigator Phillips list that were arrested in the days before the round-up were: Brian Keith Moore Christie Lynn Cochran Harold Lynn Palmer Jerry Lee Maines Jerrall Fagans Jr. Others remain at large and will be picked up as they are located.
