Terrell Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Is there emotional support available?
Many families find support through victim services, counselors and faith communities. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime. The cleanup crew focuses on the property so you can focus on healing.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
Does the Texas program pay if I clean it myself?
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.
Who pays for homicide cleanup in Texas?
Insurance comes first. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays.
How do I choose a homicide cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is disposed of, what records you get and how privacy is protected. A good company explains each step in plain words and answers questions before work starts.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
