VA Texas Vet Benefits for Disabled Veterans
Texas offers outstanding support for our disabled veterans through property tax exemptions, educational programs, and home buying assistance. From Fort Hood to San Antonio, from Austin to Houston, we’re here to help you understand and access the benefits you’ve earned serving our country.
Benefits for Disabled Veterans in Texas
Texas is one of the best states for veterans. It offers programs that can save you money and give you access to housing, education, and healthcare.
The property tax exemption is a significant benefit for disabled veterans. If you have a disability rating from the VA, you may not have to pay all or part of your property taxes. Veterans with a 100% disability rating are completely exempt from property taxes on their primary residence.
The Hazlewood Act provides another valuable opportunity, offering up to 150 hours of free tuition at public colleges and universities in Texas. This benefit isn’t just for you – it can also be used by your children or spouse in some cases, making it a powerful tool for your family’s future.
Through the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB), you’ll find support for buying land or homes with low-interest loans. They also provide home improvement loans. The VLB’s state veterans’ homes deliver professional care with the respect our veterans deserve.
One Veteran's Story
John’s story shows what’s possible with Texas veteran benefits. After retiring from the Marine Corps, John made Texas his home. With his 100% disability rating, he discovered he qualified for complete property tax exemption on his home – saving thousands of dollars annually.
Using the Hazlewood Act, John sent his daughter to college tuition-free, giving him peace of mind about her future. Through the Texas Veterans Land Board, he secured a loan to purchase land for his dream home. These programs helped John save money and create a better future for his family.
