A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the application of child support guidelines to net
resources in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 154.125(a), Family Code, is amended to
read as follows:
(a) The guidelines for the support of a child in this
section are specifically designed to apply to situations in which
the obligor's monthly net resources are not greater than $30,000
[the maximum amount of net resources to which the statutory
guidelines are applicable, as most recently published by the Title
IV-D agency in the Texas Register].
SECTION 2. Section 154.125(a-1), Family Code, is repealed.
SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act to Section
154.125, Family Code, applies only to a suit affecting the
parent-child relationship that is filed on or after the effective
date of this Act. A suit filed before the effective date of this Act
is governed by the law in effect on the date the suit is filed, and
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
