Starr County, TXCounty

Texas counties may run veterans county service offices under Government Code chapter 434, subchapter B; see the Texas entry, which sets out what a county service officer does (claims for compensation, pension, survivors' benefits, burial and health care, and help with State benefits). Starr County's Veteran Services page names its officer and how to reach him, and nothing more: "Reymundo Alvarez JR. Veterans Service Officer Phone: (956) 716-4800 ext. 8614 Email: [email protected]". His business card, linked from the page, gives the office as "Starr County Veterans Office", 401 N. Britton Ave., Suite 203, Rio Grande City, TX 78582. The county funds the office as a department of its own, "Veteran's Service Officer and Inventory Clerk", in its 2025-2026 budget, and on November 10, 2025 the Commissioners Court took up County Judge Eloy Vera's request to move money from the countywide general fund into the Veteran's Service Officer budget. The page also posts a Texas Veterans Homebuyer webinar flyer for October 20, 2026, a private event on VA home loans and a homebuyer rewards programme. How. The page publishes no office hours or list of services, so call before visiting. Bring the DD-214 (the County Clerk records one free; see the clerk entry) and any VA letters.
