After a death in Travis County

The office that investigates

County seat: Austin

How long it takes

“It generally takes 12 to 24 hours to complete our examination. In certain cases, however, it may take longer.”

What the office does not do

“The Medical Examiner’s Office does not provide copies of Death Certificates.”
“The Medical Examiner’s Office will work with the designated funeral home to complete a death certificate within 10 working days.”
“Depending upon the complexity of such tests or investigations, it may take up to 90 days for the autopsy report to be finalized.”

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.
