The office. Sherry Riley, Veterans' Officer, 266 Nacogdoches St., Center, TX 75935; phone 936-598-6530; [email protected]. The office is open 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday; "Veterans are seen Monday-Friday from 8:00am -11:00am and 12:00pm- 3:00pm." It closes on county holidays and "periodically ... during vacation or due to illness", so call first. The office files VA and State claims under Government Code chapter 434 (see the Texas entry). TexVet's county list names Sherry Riley for Shelby with San Augustine County's veterans address, [email protected], and 936-288-3091; Shelby's own page gives the number and e-mail above. San Augustine County too. San Augustine County keeps no veterans office of its own: its Veteran Services page, read on 2026-11-01, names "Sherry Riley, Veteran Service Officer" at the "Shelby County Veterans Service Office, 100 Austin St., Center", office 936-598-6530, with the [email protected] address, and its FY2026-27 budget leaves its own veterans office line empty (see san-augustine-tx-veterans-services). Neither county's budget shows a payment from San Augustine for her time. Shelby's page still gives 266 Nacogdoches St.; call to confirm where she is seeing veterans. How the county funds it. General Fund department 0405, "Veterans Officer", is $51,477 in the FY2027 budget (cover dated September 16, 2026, every member voting for it): payroll wages $39,478 (FY2026 $38,698), longevity $762, payroll taxes $3,078, retirement $2,921, unemployment $261, workers' compensation $57, office supplies $500, software $520, continuing education $2,000 and telephone and internet $1,900.
