Texas Vet Program / How the Texas Vet Program Works

Call Daryl Mitchell at 210-326-5545

The Texas Veterans Land Board is authorized to provide below market interest rates to those who qualify as a Texas Veteran. You must first be able to demonstrate that you were in the service the minimum days required to satisfy guidelines. This is normally done by providing a copy of your DD 214 and in some cases proof of residency for the past twelve months. Your credit approval is determined by the everyday guidelines of a Conventional, FHA, or VA loan. For help in determining which loan type your Texas Vet loan would fall under, contact John Shellington for assistance or complete your Pre-Approval form located in this web site ( be sure to include in the questions & comment box that you are interested in a Texas Vet loan). Once the best loan type is known, I can provide you with an estimate of down payment( if any), closing costs, and pre-paid items. I'll be pleased to provide you with your Pre-Approval letter to present with your offer to purchase a home. With your home under contract, I can obtain a rate lock under the Texas Vet Home Loan Program. The interest rate you receive is governed by the base rate which changes weekly and any adjustments that may be made. Please review the section Low Rates for information about rate adjustments.  Daryl Mitchell and The Legacy Mutual Team will be pleased to assist you in determining your eligibility for this Low Interest Rate Program. I will help you in the completion of all required Texas Vet forms and submit them to the Texas Veterans Land Board to obtain your certification. There is no charge either from Milestone or the Texas Veterans Land Board for this service
