Why Veterans Love Texas

Texas is well-known for being a pro-military state. The cities of San Antonio, Houston and Dallas have all been named as three of the top five ‘military friendly’ cities by www.militaryfriendly.com. Strong defense contracts, military friendly employers, schools, a low cost of living and low unemployment rates all help boost each city’s military friendly score.

Lackland Air Force Base, located in San Antonio, trains all enlisted Airmen throughout the entire country. Every year, thousands of young men and women enter Lackland AFB as civilians and leave eight and a half weeks later as Airmen.

Veterans who enter into service and leave Texas as their home of record during their time in service qualify for the Hazelwood Act. The Hazelwood Act provides Veterans or family members with free tuition at any public Texas university.

Texas does not have a state income tax, which means that Texas Veterans have more money in their paychecks or retirement checks each month. Texans who are stationed in other states, yet have Texas as their home of record do not pay income tax, as long as they’re intending to return to Texas upon retirement.
