About TexVet: Partners Across Texas

TexVet: Partners Across Texas is the collaborative effort of organizations including the United States Department of Defense, Veterans Health Administration, Texas Military Forces, and State of Texas programs and agencies including the Health and Human Services Commission's 2-1-1 Texas Information and Referral Network (TIRN) and the Texas A&M Health Science Center.

TexVet: Partners Across Texas focuses on making it easier for military members and their families to find help. The resources identified through TexVet are meant for anyone who is serving or has served in any branch of the military, as well as the family members and others who care about a service member.

TexVet: Partners Across Texas is also a forum for collaboration between government agencies and private organizations and businesses that are serving and supporting the military and their families and their communities. Service providers, military, and veterans-related groups all are encouraged to contact TexVet: Partners Across Texas with information that might be shared to help deal with the effects of war and military service.

The Texas Information and Referral Network, 2-1-1 Texas, also is a part of the TexVet initiative. 2-1-1 is a non-emergency confidential telephone service linking callers to local services in Texas. Anyone can call 2-1-1 to speak directly with a person who is trained to help find needed services.

If you do not find what you are looking for on the TexVet website and you need to speak directly with an information and referral specialist, please dial 2-1-1. This is a non-emergency telephone service that provides information and referrals from local organizations across Texas. When you speak with a 2-1-1 Texas specialist, it could be to your benefit to explain to them what your military or military related status is, but that is not a requirement, and the specialist will not ask about that unless you mention it. All information you share with a 2-1-1 Texas specialist is confidential.
