Land Purchase Terms For Texas Disabled Veterans
The board sets payment duration, but law caps at 40 years. Veterans receive 1 2 of mineral rights or a 1 16th royalty, with the state taking the other half. You may buy land by finding it or have the board acquire and resell on terms, if title is clear and considered a bargain. Lands offered must be advertised for four weeks, locally and countywide. Disabled vets get a 90 day buying priority, and residency on the land is not required though reselling within three years is prohibited.
