The Issue

Due to a clerical error, Texas father Clifford Hall received a bill charging him nearly $3,000 in overdue child support last year. Hall quickly repaid the amount, even paying an additional $1,000 to balance his debt. But despite his repayment, Hall was sentenced to six months in jail.  The clerical error was not his fault yet he was still sentenced to jail, even though he paid the back due child support... in fact, the state advised him he was in excess of $1,000 overpaid!
