What is Crime Victims' Compensation?
The Attorney General's Office of the State of Texas offers the Crime Victims' Compensation fund to assist victims of crime. Money in the fund is generated by court costs paid by criminals in the state of Texas. These funds are distributed by the Crime Victims' Compensation Division to help eligible victims of crime pay for the expenses that result from the crime. Some of these expenses may include funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses, loss of earnings, counseling and relocation.
