How do I apply for Crime Victims’ Compensation?

Every law enforcement agency in Texas is required to provide victims of crime with information about the Crime Victims’ Compensation program and an application. Applications are also available from the Collin County DA’s Office. Our victim witness coordinators are required to provide assistance to victims who ask for help filling out the form. Hospitals and medical centers may also have applications.

You may also obtain an application directly from the Crime Victims’ Compensation Program in the Office of the Attorney General by calling 1-800-983-9933. Or you may download and fill out the Online Application and mail it in.
