per CVC application will not reduce the maximum amount available to
the victim or claimant for an approved application.
(c) The OAG, at its discretion, may discontinue or
suspend all current and future payments to a service provider who
has received a request for return of an overpayment until the OAG
is satisfied that the overpayment requirements have been met or the
service provider enters into an overpayment return arrangement.
(d) The OAG may pursue available administrative or
civil penalties as provided under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure
Articles 56.62, 56.63, and 56.64.
