A victim or a claimant, such as a family member or representative, can apply. The crime must be reported to law enforcement, and the application is due within three years unless there is good cause. Call (800) 983-9933.
What rules do homicide cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Waste is handled as regulated medical waste, and companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

A person who cleans alone can be reimbursed for supplies. Hiring a company may allow the company's service costs to be reimbursed. Either way, keep every receipt. Only the Texas Attorney General can decide a claim.
Can homicide cleaners work in a rental or apartment?
Yes. Landlords and property managers often get cleanup done to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Crews contain the work so other units are not affected. Lease terms decide who pays.
