Texas Vet Home Loans***

This competitive fixed-rate home loan is available in 15- or 30-year terms and can be used for financing up to $647,200*. It can also be used in conjunction with an FHA, VA, or traditional loan.

The opportunity is available to any veteran*** whose service began after September 16, 1940. In addition to active Vets and those who have previously served, the Texas Vet loan program is available to surviving un-remarried spouses of eligible Texas veterans who are missing in action, were killed in action, or died as a result of service-related issues.

The Texas Veterans Housing Assistance Program (VHAP) is available to qualified veterans residing and purchasing a home in Texas, regardless of where they were born. Plus, the program can be applied every time you buy a primary residence in Texas, as long as only one VHAP loan is open at a time.
