Who cleans it
Nobody in that chain. Of the county offices and city police departments this site has read, not one offers to clean a property after a death — it is arranged by whoever owns it, or by the next of kin. Texas also issues no license for this trade, so ask a company about insurance, bloodborne-pathogens training and its waste route instead.
Texas’s medical-waste transporter registration (30 TAC 326.53) is written for medical waste, and waste from a home is excluded from that definition — so ask for it as evidence of a real disposal route, not as a legal box. Check a company
