The 201 Legislature expanded property tax relief to surviving spouses of disabled veterans with a total homestead exemption if the spouse does not remarry and the home remains the homestead. About 35,300 Texas veterans benefited since 2009, and voters approved a constitutional amendment in November to extend this aid.
