414 accredited attorneys, 44 claims agents and 670 VSO representatives are based in Texas.
Texas's 458 attorneys and agents work out to 2.98 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 30 of 52 states and territories.
Of Texas's 254 counties, 50 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (19.7 percent). County locations could not be matched for 28 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Texas are in Houston (86), Dallas (78), Austin (36), San Antonio (31), and Fort Worth (11).
Texas added 66 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Texas: 3.8 years. Accreditation dates were unavailable or invalid for 1 person; those records are left out of these time calculations.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Texas's VA regional offices are in Waco and Houston.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Texas 2.98; Arkansas 3.64; Louisiana 4.04; New Mexico 1.63; Oklahoma 2.23. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 1.54 million veterans live in Texas, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 682,628 veterans in Texas received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 1,500 people in Texas receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Texas address: 75,434 claims pending, 10.2 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Texas address, VA averaged 71.9 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Waco regional office: 10,552 claims pending, 12.5 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 71.0 days pending.
Houston regional office: 9,395 claims pending, 12.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 70.2 days pending.
VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.
Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.

Where the Board rated the medical link, grant shares were 89.7 percent when strong, 3.7 percent when weak, and 1.6 percent when missing. Grant shares were 16.7 percent with one kind of evidence and 56.9 percent with six or more kinds of evidence, among the 80,128 condition decisions where evidence types were identified.
