Texas is a state where the citizens appreciate the service to our country and show it at the polls when they vote for state veteran benefits. Rick Perry is not responsible for all of these listed below but he certainly protects the benefits we now have for Texas Vets. Rick Perry has never choked on support for any veteran bill that has come to his desk during his term in office. He fought constantly for the elimination of the property tax for Veterans in Texas and this last year--it passed!!! One of the reasons more than likely that he is this Nation's longest standing Governor. People like him. Rick Perry has had the complete and full support, backing and loyalty of WESUPPORTTHEVETS.COM the nanosecond he announced he was a candidate for the President of the United States.

If the "super committee" ( one of the most stupid ideas Washington has come out with for years) decides to cut funding to the V.A., Tricare for Life, Military Retired pay, disability benefits and Social Security, who, from past performance would you consider the best person to protect these benefits that veterans and elderly have already paid for? The present POUS or his replacement in 2012? Make it happen veterans. There are 24 million veterans in the USA that can make it happen.

House Bill 3613 was passed into law during the 81st TEXAS Legislative Session this spring. Now, the procedures for obtaining this entitlement are now final – Texas veterans that receive 100% disability compensation from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs are now eligible for 100% property tax exemption on their residential homestead property. No other property under your ownership is eligible for this exemption.

Texas veterans meeting these criteria are now allowed to apply for and receive the 100% exemption on local property tax levied by cities, schools, and counties.

On 23 June, appraisal districts across Texas received the long awaited guidance and procedures on the administration process of this exemption for those eligible recipients. This is what is required of the property owner in order to obtain the exemption under this House bill:

The State Comptroller of Public Accounts has approved a “Temporary Application Form” so that eligible persons may apply for the 100% exemption as directed by the legislature. A copy of this form may be obtained at the Appraisal District Offices, or HERE ---if the link does not work, asK your appraisal office for form 50-764.To apply, veterans must complete the State Comptroller's Form 50-764 and submit it to the appraisal district office along with a copy of their driver's license or ID card and a copy of the VA Disability Award Letter from the Department of Veteran Affairs showing the 100 percent service-connected disability.
The applicant will enclose with the completed application form, a copy of their VA Disability Award Letter from the Department of Veteran Affairs showing the 100% service connected disability.
A Xerox copy of the applicant’s driver’s license or state issued ID card which will be used to verify residency, and the address in which the exemption will apply, will be affixed to the application.

Eligible applicants should visit the appraisal district office with their VA Award letter and drivers license/ID to receive assistance in filing for this. Providing the exemption to current residential homestead property will take less than 5 minutes to complete and process. Due to the urgent need to get these approved for applicants, the appraisal district will be processing applications for walk in customers as they arrive until certification of the Appraisal Roll, 15 July.

Many of these applicants have mortgages with a property tax escrow. Approval of this 100% exemption could lower their monthly mortgage payments. Naturally, applicants may also apply by mail, and those will be processed as received as with any other application.

UPDATE; AS of 2012 the Texas legislature voted into law a new amendment to the property tax appraisal.

As of this date the survivor of the disabled veteran ( his/her spouse) will also not be required to pay the property tax on the inherited property. This is only just because if the vet passes there is no more disability income for the family. Only income a widow would have is SS and SBP. Thank you again TEXAS. You honor those that served.

Available to a resident qualifying as a disabled veteran. Official proof of disability (issued by the V.A.) must be shown when applying for this license and must state the rate of disability. Includes all 6 state stamp endorsements, but does not include the Federal Waterfowl Stamp.
