TX-23 resident brief · Government
County to find funds for additional veterans office staff
· Reported by Uvalde Leader-News
Bottom line
Uvalde County commissioners unanimously voted to reverse a decision denying a part-time staff member for the veterans office. The court approved $20,000 to fund a 20-hour weekly position paid at $20 per hour for a one-year contract.
Why it matters in TX-23
This change directly supports Uvalde's 779 veterans and those from neighboring Hondo, Medina, and Del Rio counties who rely on the office. The new staff member will assist with benefits and financial resources, addressing the office's current high volume of requests.
