Full entitlement means no loan limit
If you have full VA entitlement, there's no VA-imposed cap on a $0-down purchase — you're limited only by what you can afford. Partial entitlement (from another active VA loan) caps zero-down buying power at the county limit, $832,750 in most of Texas for 2026.
Texas property tax breaks for disabled veterans
Texas rewards service with property tax exemptions that grow with your VA disability rating, up to a full homestead exemption for veterans rated 100% disabled. On top of a discounted Texas Vet rate, this can save thousands every year you own the home.
Occupancy: this is for your home
VA and Texas Vet purchase loans are for primary residences. You'll generally move in within 60 days of closing and keep the home as your primary residence — they aren't for investment properties, though you can buy a multi-unit home and live in one unit.
