The Veterans Service Director and Veteran Service Officer is Joe "JC" Cumpian, with an assistant service officer, Kelsey Travis; the Commissioners Court confirmed a service officer appointment on October 14, 2025. A stale date. The office's list of wartime periods gives the Vietnam era as August 5, 1964, or February 28, 1961 for veterans who served in Vietnam, to June 7, 1975. VA's period ends on May 7, 1975, and the PACT Act of 2022 moved the start for service in the Republic of Vietnam to November 1, 1955, so a veteran who served there between 1955 and 1961 has wartime service for pension and other purposes.
