Cases

PER CURIAM. This case involves an important question-whether the dormancy provisions in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code sections 31.006 and 34.001 apply to past-due child support payments. We explicitly reserved this question in In re AD., 73 S.W.3d 244, 249 (Tex.2002). But because of the state of this record, we decline to decide the question here. The petition is denied.
