Move Out inspection findings

[Sagar Mylab]

My tenant finally vacated yesterday.  While doing the move-out inspection, I noticed that there was a carcass of an animal (possibly a dog) & an animal cage in the storage shed which is in the backyard.  By the way the carcass looked, it seemed like it was there for atleast a couple months.  

She wasn't supposed to have any animals on the property so I asked her what this was about.  She denied any knowledge of this animal and repeatedly stated that she did not have any animals on the property.  I took pictures of it and noted this in the move-out inspection form which both she & I signed, dated.  

Has anyone dealt with similar issue in the past?   Considering this is in Texas, Is there any protocol I need to follow before I dispose this?

If someone had a dead animal in a cage (or near a cage) upon move out the first person I would call is the police. Maybe the ASPCA if I could find the number before the non-emergency police line.
