Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Gulfton, Houston, TX

How do I apply to the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program?

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.

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.

Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.

What should I tell the insurance company?

Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

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.

How to clean a murder scene?

It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.
