Issue: On November 14, 2022, the Commissioners' Court authorized the submission by the Veterans Service Office of a grant application for Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans' Assistance in an effort to enhance the services and support currently being provided to veterans and their spouses with no reliable means of transportation to and from medical appointments which may not be available without further funding.
