As a veteran and now corporate services attorney, it is important to be aware of the resources available to assist entrepreneurs with setting up businesses in Texas. Now, veterans are provided a unique benefit to assist veteran-owned businesses with start-up costs.

In 2021, Texas Senate Bill 938 reinstated the New Veteran-Owned Business statute, effective as of Jan. 1, 2022, to provide veteran-owned business entities a waiver for the formation fees and the Texas franchise tax for up to five years.
