Culver contacted a Michigan resident with a significant criminal history in May, 2019, saying that he 'needed a huge favor' and he wanted to get rid of someone 'ASAP,' according to court documents seen by The Blade.
An undercover police officer posing as a hitman met Culver at a restaurant in Bryan on May 18 last year.
Culver passed on details about the social worker and provided a $200 down payment for the assassination.
The 36-year-old was arrested upon leaving the restaurant.

According to records filed in U.S. District Court in Toledo on June 3, Culver has now launched a lawsuit claiming he was harassed and discriminated against by the social worker and her public employer, the Williams County Job and Public Services Agency.
The lawsuit claims Garza and her colleague turned up at his residence on April 16, 2019 to question his wife and search his residence.
Culver alleges that she then called him three days later while the family was traveling to Florida to a new homey, stating that he 'would never see his children again'.
The lawsuit accuses Garza of following him and making threats to take his children away. It alleges that she followed him around town from May 3, 2019, to May 10, 2019, and that she once called him 30 times in one day.
The lawsuit asks the court for at least $25,000 for physical and emotional distress, according to The Blade.
Court records show that Culver's children were relocated as police investigated a case of emotional mistreatment involving the 36-year-old.
