Who administers the Texas Crime Victims Compensation Act?

• A. Texas Attorney General
• B. Texas Lieutenant Governor
• C. Texas Governor
• D. Texas Department of Public Safety

Answer: (A)

The main idea is who runs the program that provides financial help to victims of violent crime in Texas. The Texas Attorney General's Office administers the Crime Victims' Compensation Program, handling the application process, determining eligibility, and distributing benefits for expenses like medical costs, funeral costs, and lost wages. The Attorney General acts as the state's legal and administrative steward of the program and its funding.

The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Texas Department of Public Safety don’t administer this program; they may be involved in related areas of policy or enforcement, but the actual administration of the Crime Victims' Compensation Act is through the Attorney General’s Office.
