Department of Veterans Affairs in Texas 16th District (TX-16)

Veterans Affairs × TX-16 as a border-district cell

Agency 036 and Texas 16th District (TX-16) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,217,928,331.56 is the obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $9,743,851,214.38 book, not every Veterans Affairs dollar in Texas, and not an outlay. The Texas 16th District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Veterans Affairs hub still lists other districts.

Border-metro speech often names a medical center as if it were the whole cell. This packet does not split $1,217,928,331.56 by facility, name primes, or count patients. Assigning the total to a single campus invents a site the facts do not name. Correlation with local veterans news is not causation.

TX-16's district book beside agency 036

12.5% of $9,743,851,214.38 is tagged to Department of Veterans Affairs in this extract. Other awarding agencies fill the rest of Texas 16th District. Adding those rows into $1,217,928,331.56 would double-count. The Texas 16th District page at /districts/TX-16/ is the parent without an agency-036 filter.

Department of Veterans Affairs at /agencies/036/ drops the TX-16 filter. Texas federal spending at /states/tx/ drops the district cut. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other pairs. Do not treat $1,217,928,331.56 as statewide Veterans Affairs obligations.

450 award records are not a clinic list
