Veterans LawyerS SERVING Texas 

Overview

Veterans Affairs Law is a dedicated Veterans Law firm serving Texas veterans nationwide. As Military Lawyers who focus exclusively on Veterans Affairs Law, we help veterans pursue VA Compensation, fight VA Denied Benefits, and navigate the full range of VA Issues that can stand between a veteran and the support they've earned. Veterans Affairs Law is federally accredited to represent veterans in all 50 states, including Texas, regardless of our physical office location. VA claims and appeals are governed by federal law, not state bar licensure, so our Veterans Legal Services are available to every veteran in Texas, no matter which city or county you live in. This page also covers key state-level veteran benefits available in Texas, including property tax exemptions, education benefits, employment assistance, healthcare resources, and state veteran programs, so you have one place to start regardless of what kind of help you need.

State Veteran Benefits in Texas

Texas offers one of the more robust sets of state-level veteran benefits in the country, including property tax exemptions, tuition assistance, employment preferences, healthcare access, and land and home loan programs administered through the Texas Veterans Commission and Texas Veterans Land Board. These benefits are separate from, but often connected to, your federal VA Disabilities rating. If you run into a denial, delay, or dispute with any VA-connected benefit, our Veterans Legal Aid team can step in as your Voice for Veterans and help you understand your options.

Property Tax Exemptions

Texas offers a property tax exemption for disabled veterans on a sliding scale tied to VA disability rating, with a full exemption available for veterans rated 100 percent service-connected disabled. Surviving spouses of qualifying veterans may also remain eligible. Eligibility and exemption amounts are tied to your VA Disabilities rating and can change from year to year, so confirm current figures with your county tax assessor or the state veterans affairs office. If your rating was wrongly assigned or your VA Compensation claim was denied, that can directly affect what you qualify for here, which is where our Veterans Legal Services come in.

Education Benefits

Texas veterans and eligible dependents can use the federal Post-9/11 GI Bill along with the Hazlewood Act, which provides up to 150 credit hours of tuition exemption at Texas public colleges and universities for qualifying veterans, and in some cases their dependents.

Employment Assistance

The Texas Veterans Commission offers veteran-specific employment assistance, including job placement help, resume support, and veteran hiring preference for Texas state government positions.

Healthcare Resources

Texas veterans have access to a large VA medical system, including VA Medical Centers in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Temple, and El Paso, along with numerous community-based outpatient clinics statewide. Texas also operates state veterans homes offering long-term and skilled nursing care.

State Veteran Programs

The Texas Veterans Commission and Texas Veterans Land Board operate programs covering claims assistance, veteran land and home loans, veteran license plates, employment services, and veteran ID and burial benefits through Texas State Veterans Cemeteries.
