Program GOals
CVC was created in 1979 by the Texas Legislature. Managed by the Office of the Attorney General, CVC has two primary goals: Encourage greater victim participation in the apprehension and prosecution of criminals, and Reimburse innocent victims for certain costs related to the crime.
How it Works
How the CVC Program Works Victims of violent crime, their families, or others who have taken on crime-related costs on behalf of a victim, apply for compensation. CVC staff review the application and other information to ensure it meets eligibility criteria. CVC verifies a crime occurred and the crime was reported to law enforcement. CVC asks applicants to provide information about crime-related costs. CVC staff review information to see what crime-related costs can be paid according to program rules.
Types of Compensation
Two Types of Compensation There are two types of compensation: (1) Crime Victims’ Compensation and (2) Emergency Medical Care Compensation - Sexual Assault Exam. You can apply for either compensation with the same application. Learn more on our CVC Eligibility requirements page.
