Hudspeth County Veterans Services: No County Officer - the Commission in El Paso and a Posted Veterans Housing Program

What the county posts. Hudspeth County's site - its menus, the County Judge's page and the County Directory - has no veterans page and names no veterans service officer. How the county funds it. The FY 2026-2027 proposed budget (filed with the Clerk on August 11, 2026 and on the September 15, 2026 agenda for adoption) has no veterans department; its General Fund departments, with actual spending back to FY 2023, run from the County Judge, courthouse and jail to the tax office, County Attorney, treasurer, auditor, extension agent, DPS, courts, sheriff, elections and indigent health. A county of under 200,000 people is not required to keep an officer (Government Code 434.032; see the Texas entry). TexVet. TexVet's county list gives no local officer for Hudspeth; it lists the Texas Veterans Commission's El Paso office, (915) 564-7852. The Commission's claims counselors help any veteran free (see the Texas entry); call before travelling to El Paso. The Veterans Housing Program. The county's Community Benefits page links a "Veterans Housing Program": a flyer, an intake application and requirements for two Texas Veterans Commission-funded programs run by A.Y.U.D.A., Inc., with offices at 1325 Beverly Ann, San Elizario (915-851-0272) and 3627 Durazno Ave., El Paso. Housing for Texas Heroes modifies, repairs and weatherizes a home a very low- or low-income veteran or surviving spouse owns and lives in (accessibility changes, repairs of dangerous conditions, sealing out wind and water), with VA-rated disabled veterans first on the wait list; the owner must be the 100% owner on the appraisal district's rolls and current on mortgage and property taxes. General Assistance helps veterans and surviving spouses with overdue mortgage, rent and utility payments. Each program has its own requirements; call A.Y.U.D.A. to apply. County contacts.
