Houston Man Owes Child Supports For a Kid That’s Not His

As the Juice knows, if the glove don’t fit you must acquit. But what if a crazy ex framed you for the crime, and the court ordered you to pay or do time? Even when you say the child is not mine. Welcome to Gabriel Cornejo’s world. The courts are claiming that he owes 65k for a kid that isn’t his. Well, if it isn’t his a simple DNA test will put an end to this entire situation, right? Wrong. It’s Texas. They look like the rest of us, but they’re not. An ass backward old court order is the reason for Gabriel’s suffering. Talk about sticking it to Mr. Cornejo’s cornhole. He feels the pressure.

Gabriel Cornejo, 45, took a DNA test proving a child his ex-girlfriend had 16 years ago was not his.The test was too late. In 2003, a child support court in Houston ruled that Cornejo owed his ex-girlfriend child support because, she claims, there was no way he wasn’t the father.

Texas is no stranger to strange affairs. There are more churches and donut shops per square foot than Starbucks. The average size of most women in Texas rivals that of most bovine. Rodeo is life in the Lone Star State. Cowboy boots fall under formal business attire.

At the crux of why Cornejo must pay up is Texas’ family code, chapter 161, which states, even if you’re not the biological father, you still owe child support that accrued before the DNA test proves you’re not the father, Cornejo’s lawyer Cheryl Coleman told Chron.com.

This entire situation sounds like a country song gone wrong. Maybe Gabriel can get in the booth and record his way out of 65k. I smell a “The time that child wasn’t mine” album on the way. Move over George Strait. There’s someone new singing the country blues over exes in Texas.
