VLB Land Sales Resume Looking to purchase your own piece of Texas? For over 70 years, the Veterans Land Board (VLB) has helped Veterans find their dream homes though its unique home and land loans programs. In fact, Texas is the only state that has a Land Board exclusively for Veterans making the Lone Star State an exceptional place for Veterans to settle down after military service. We are excited to announce that the land sale program is returning. The first event for 2022 is scheduled to begin on March 7 with bidding closing out on April 25. For updates and for available tracts of land, Veterans can sign up for the newsletter as well as keep an eye out on our website.   MORE DETAILS
