Victoria County Thank a Vet Program (County Clerk)

The clerk's own programme. The Thank-A-Vet page: "Thank A Veteran is a service offered by the Victoria County Clerk's office to provide benefits and discounts for those who have served their country across Victoria County." The programme PDF: "The 'Thank a Vet' discount program is a way for our community to express its gratitude and to recognize the service and sacrifices made by our veterans. Participating merchants honor veterans by providing special discounts on purchases or services when presented with the 'Thank a Vet' photo ID card." Merchants enrol on the clerk's form, post the sign, and are "identified by a sign displayed at their business and ... also listed on the County Clerk's webpage ... updated weekly. Printed copies are available upon request." The card and the discharge. "The veteran ID card is issued after that veteran files his or her DD-214 Separation papers with the County Clerk's Office. Both the card and the filing are free of charge to the Veteran. DD-214 papers are non-public records and are filed with our office for safekeeping. These records are viewable ONLY by the veteran and his or her immediate family." The clerk's 2026 fee schedule carries the statutory lines: "Military Discharge (DD 214) Filings - Filing of DD 214, 192.002(b) LGC, No Charge; Certified Copy, 603.003(a) TGC, No Charge", and the fee-waiver note for assumed-name filings by a military veteran with proper ID (HB 1646).
