The state Government of Texas confirmed a tough policy: seizing all the dollar accounts of people who appeared on its official list of debtors for child support. In addition to bank accounts, the measure also reached properties, vehicles and other financial assets.

The decision was driven by the Office of the Attorney General with the aim of ensuring compliance with financial obligations toward children. The list, publicly accessible, was part of a state campaign focused on protecting the well-being of minors.
