Veterans Employment Preference
Texas employers value your service to our country. Many employers recognize the skills and dedication that veterans bring to the workforce and therefore give employment preference to veterans when making hiring decisions. The Texas Veterans Commission has resources available for those with a service-connected disability that limits the ability to work or prevents you from working. Their Veteran Readiness and Employment (formerly called Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment) program helps you explore employment options and address training needs. In some cases, your family members may also qualify for certain benefits.
