Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

i was served with papers from the AG. it states " if you or your attorney do not file a written answer with the clerk in 20 days after you were served this citation, Motion to Confirm Support Arrearage, a default judgment may be taken against you."

What does that mean? Do i actually have to write a letter?

It means that you need to hire a lawyer and file an answer. An answer is not a letter. If it is not legally sufficient, they can take a default judgment. A default means that they get everything they asked for. Either retain a lawyer asap, or get to the law library and research your case. The librarian will not give you legal advice, but will guide you to the right books.
