Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Texas

The Department of Veterans Affairs shows $101,846,771,211.30 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Texas, across 85,982 awards. Awarding-agency 036 and Texas (TX) are the join keys. A large healthcare-and-benefits agency file is not a count of Texas veterans, and it is not cash already paid. USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • VA in Texas: $101,846,771,211.30 across 85,982 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $1.18 million per record, not spending per veteran.
  • Agency 036 × TX is not a care-quality score and not a census.
  • Report obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.

VA awards that carry a Texas geography tag

Department of Veterans Affairs as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: that intersection sums to $101,846,771,211.30 on 85,982 records. A VA award coded to Oklahoma is out. A USDA award coded to Texas is out. The cell does not smuggle those rows back in.

Eighty-five thousand nine hundred eighty-two actions against $101,846,771,211.30 imply about $1.18 million per award. Hospital construction, medical-center contracts, and smaller supply actions can share the same count. This packet does not split the 85,982 rows by hospital versus benefit versus construction.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Texas is the overlay. Texas federal spending remains the all-agency state hub. All spending ties keeps VA–Texas in a series of pairs. Eighty-five thousand nine hundred eighty-two VA actions in Texas are enough to look like a patient census if you ignore the noun. They are award records. $101,846,771,211.30 is the obligation sum on those records. Department of Veterans Affairs in Texas does not convert either integer into unique veterans.

Not a veteran census and not a quality score

This packet has no veteran-population field. Dividing $101,846,771,211.30 by an invented headcount would manufacture per-veteran spending. This page will not do that.

Wait times, clinical outcomes, and claims backlogs are not USAspending obligation fields. $101,846,771,211.30 does not grade VA care in Texas. It sums award commitments with an 036 awarding-agency code and a TX tag. Texas did not cause the total by having a large population. Population is not in the packet. Correlation of a state tag with a VA dollar column is not causation. Community-care, construction, and medical-center operations can share agency 036. This packet does not split them. A reader who needs a program mix must leave this join. Texas federal spending still includes USDA, DHS, Education, and every other awarding agency in the state extract.

Obligations versus care already delivered

A medical-center contract can obligate in one period and outlay across many. $101,846,771,211.30 is the commitment sum on the 85,982 awards. It is not a statement that Treasury already paid that amount in Texas.

Austin’s state budget and VA’s own volume-of-care reports are different publications. Mixing them with this join leaves the award-obligation series. Texas VA’s 85,982 actions are numerous enough to tempt a per-clinic chart. This packet has no clinic field. $101,846,771,211.30 stays statewide for agency 036. Department of Veterans Affairs in Texas will not grow a facility table from those two integers. Modifications can inflate 85,982 without adding unique patients.

Statewide Texas, not a VISN map

Veterans Integrated Service Networks and individual medical centers are unpublished here. $101,846,771,211.30 and 85,982 awards stay statewide. A Houston-versus-Dallas hospital story needs another extract.

Open Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without a Texas filter. Use that hub when the question is national VA obligations, not this TX cell.
