The Honorable Charles L. Morris Opinion No. H-853
Executive Director
Veterans Affairs Commission Re: Disabled veterans
P. O. Box 12277, Capitol Station employment preference.
Austin, Texas 78711
Dear Mr. Morris:
You ask for an opinion concerning the service credit
granted to persons who, in applying for state employment
requiring a competitive examination, establish the existence
of a service-connected disability. Specifically, you ask
whether eligibility for the credit is limited to persons
having a disability of ten per cent or more as established
by records of the Veterans Administration.
Article 4413(31), V.T.C.S., specifies the honorably
discharged military personnel who qualify for a preference
in state employment over other applicants for the same
position having no greater qualification. Section 3 of
article 4413(31) provides, in part:
In all public departments, commissions,
boards and other governmental agencies
and public works of this State which now
require or may hereafter require a com-
petitive examination under a Merit System
or Civil Service Plan of either or both
selecting and promoting employees, such
person who is otherwise eligible and
qualified for and entitled to preference
under this Act, who shall have been so
examined and shall have attained at least
the minimum required score for such test or
tests, shall have a service credit amountingp. 3599
