40 TAC §175.2

The Texas Veterans Land Board (Board) adopts amendments to 40 Texas Administrative Code §175.2, concerning Loan Eligibility Requirements. The amendments are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the May 31, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 3919) and will not be republished.

The amendments add a subsection that allows veterans eligible to participate in the Veterans' Land Program (Program) who are spouses to apply for a Program loan jointly for a single tract of land.

The Department received no comments regarding the proposed amendments.

The amendments are adopted pursuant to Section 161.001 of the Texas Natural Resources Code, which allows the Board by rule to change the definition of "veteran" as necessary or appropriate to protect the best interests of the Veterans' Land Program.

The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed the adoption and found it to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
