Terms Used In Texas Local Government Code 113.043

  • Restitution: The court-ordered payment of money by the defendant to the victim for damages caused by the criminal action.

In a county with a county auditor, the county treasurer and the county depository may not pay a check or order for payment unless it is countersigned by the county auditor to validate it as a proper and budgeted item of expenditure. This section does not apply to a check or order for jury service or for restitution collected on behalf of an individual as authorized by law.
