(The Center Square) – New laws have been enacted this year to help Texas veterans by reducing and streamlining regulations and simplifying access to resources available to them.

“Texas is home to more veterans than any other state,” Gov. Greg Abbott said at a veterans event in Houston. “We owe every member who serves our country the deepest appreciation that we have. America would not be America, we would not be the freest and strongest, most powerful country in the history of the world if it weren’t for these soldiers willing to stand up and do the things they are doing. Texas will forever honor the service and sacrifice of those who served the United States of America.”
