(1) the amount of periodic payment of child support due;
(2) that the person identified in the notice as the party responsible for payment of the support amounts may only contest the amount of monthly support; and
(3) that, if the person identified in the notice as the party responsible for payment of the support amounts does not contest the notice in writing or request a negotiation conference to discuss the notice not later than the 15th day after the date the notice was delivered, the Title IV-D agency may file the child support order for child support, medical support, and dental support for the child as provided by Chapter 154 according to the information available to the agency.
(c) The Title IV-D agency may schedule a negotiation conference without a request from a party.
