Crime Victim's Compensation ("CVC")

We are proud to partner with the Texas Office of the Attorney General in providing assistance to victims of crime.  This program can offer assistance to victims by helping to pay for expenses incurred by medical bills, counseling, lost wages, relocation, or travel related to a criminal case.

How does the Program Work?
1.  Victims of violent crime, their families, or others who have taken on crime-related costs on behalf of a victim, apply for compensation.
2.  CVC staff review the application and other information to ensure it meets eligibility criteria.
3. CVC verifies a crime occurred, and it was reported to law enforcement.
4. CVC asks applicants to provide information about their crime-related costs.
5. CVC staff review information to see what crime-related costs can be paid according to Program rules.

How can I apply?  You may apply for CVC funds online, and many agencies provide assistance to victims in completing the application.  Our Office's Victims Assistance Coordinator, Lori Zinn, is able to assist you in this process, as well.  Contact our office to learn how we can help!
