I was the victim of a violent crime and need assistance with paying medical, funeral, mental health, income or other related losses. Where can I get this assistance?

Depending on the circumstances, you may qualify for financial assistance from the Crime Victims’ Compensation Program. Compensation is available for medical, mental health, and other similar services. The Victim/Witness Assistance Division can provide you with the application for Crime Victims’ Compensation. The application is also available through local police agencies. The application should be filled out and returned to the office of the Attorney General in Austin, Texas. The Attorney General’s office will approve or disapprove the claim.
