What the county runs. The county directory's "Other Offices" list carries the office: "Veteran Services - Vernon Denmon - (903) 723-2100." The office is a county department under Social Services; the county's pages publish no further text of it, so the budget is the record of what it does and with how much.
The FY 2027 budget, twice. In the general fund's social services: "VETERAN'S SERVICE OFF. - SALARY HOURLY $86,000, SOCIAL SECURITY $5,332, MEDICARE $1,247, RETIREMENT $11,275, TOTAL SALARIES & BENEFITS $103,854; SUPPLIES $4,200, OTHER $3,500, FURN/EQUIP (LESS THAN 2,500) $4,000, TOTAL OTHER EXPENSES $11,700 - TOTAL VETERAN'S SERVICE OFF. $115,554." In special revenue funds: "221-VETERAN'S SERVICE OFFICE - REVENUES: JURY DONATION $4,500, SURPLUS $14,749, TOTAL REVENUE $19,249; EXPENDITURES: SUPPLIES $10,000, OTHER $4,249, CAPITAL OUTLAY $5,000, TOTAL VETERANS SERVICE OFFICE $19,249." The budget's notes on the special funds: "Veteran's Service Office Fund - The Veteran's Service Office Fund was established by Section 61.003(a)(6) of the Local Government Code to be used to supplement the Veteran's Service Office." The juror donation line is how Texas counties let jurors route their service fees to veterans assistance.
Where. The Anderson County Courthouse, 500 N. Church Street, Palestine, TX 75801, (903) 723-7403. The Commissioners Court sits at 703 N. Mallard Street, Suite 108, Palestine (903-723-7820, administrative assistant Kathy Starkey), and the County Judge, the Honorable Carey G. McKinney, at 703 N. Mallard Street, Suite 101. The Court's commissioners are Greg Chapin (Precinct 1), Rashad Mims (Precinct 2), John Wilbanks (Precinct 3) and Joey Hill (Precinct 4).
The State route beside it. Texas Veterans Commission claims help is the statewide complement - the TVC's toll-free line (1-800-252-8387) and its district structure; the county's own pages name no TVC district for Anderson, so the office and the state line are the routes the record supports.
