Re: Whether, in light of section 716.101 of the Health and Safety Code, a county may cremate an unidentified deceased pauper's remains (RQ-0551-GA)
S U M M A R Y
Despite its authority to dispose of the body of an unidentified deceased pauper under section 694.002(a) of the Health and Safety Code by cremation, section 716.101 of the same code prohibits a crematory establishment from accepting such remains for cremation. Accordingly, a county may not have the remains of an unidentified pauper cremated.
For further information, please access the website at www.oag.state.tx.us or call the Opinion Committee at (512) 463-2110.
