Veterans Services Mission Statement
  • To assist and aid all veterans and dependents
    with benefits that they may be entitled to by the
    Federal Government or by the State of Texas.
    Assist in representing veterans or dependents
    before the VA on claims for service-connected
    disabilities or pensions. If claim is denied,
    help assist in the appeal process.

In the last 5 years the Veterans Services
department has processed more benefit
applications than any other county in our service
area.
