The Texas Veterans Commission today announced the recipients of more than $2 million in grants for veterans’ assistance.
Among the awards is a $95,000 grant to the Texas Legal Services Center (TLSC) for the purpose of expanding its Veterans Legal Hotline for Texas veterans who do not have access to civil legal services. According to TLSC’s Randall Chapman, the grant will allow it to increase hotline hours and hire additional staff to help provide the service.
Legal services provided to veterans primarily address issues relating to family, employment, housing, consumer, probate, and access to health care and benefits.
