Department of Veterans Affairs obligations in Texas 35th District (TX-35)

VA × TX-35 is a care join, not an I-35 corridor patient census

This page is a join: Department of Veterans Affairs (agency 036) as awarding agency, and Texas 35th District (TX-35) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,690,040,505.01 on 323 awards. The join is awarding-agency 036 crossed with a TX-35 location field, not Texas’s entire veterans budget and not a named medical-center or patient roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 323 awards equal 323 patients, clinics, or unique contractors.

DoD health lines, HHS, or VA-coded awards in TX-21 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 036 and TX-35. Mixing those books into $1,690,040,505.01 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and veteran population is not causation. Enrollee and bed-day tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as TX-35 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,690,040,505.01 in a district treasury. Austin-versus-San Antonio folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

323 awards behind $1.69 billion

Mean obligation is about $5,232,323.54 if $1,690,040,505.01 were divided evenly across 323 lines. That ratio is not a published cost per patient and not a typical CCN claim. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of patients, clinics, or unique vendors. Three hundred twenty-three awards against a $1.69 billion cell is a moderate VA file; the district parent is only a few times larger, so this agency is a large slice of the local book.

Medical contracts and leases can both appear among the 323 lines. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Texas 35th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 323 into a map of Texas 35th District VA clinics. The $1,690,040,505.01 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a patient census.

Texas 35th District, not an Austin-San Antonio clinic rollup

Texas 35th District (TX-35) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to TX-21, TX-15, or another Texas district are out even if the corridor sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $4,538,296,439.74 across every awarding agency; $1,690,040,505.01 is the Department of Veterans Affairs slice — about 37.2% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide VA figure on Texas federal spending mixes every district and dwarfs this cell. Do not rank TX-35 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Texas district cells are other joins. Texas federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Veterans Affairs dollars to $1,690,040,505.01 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 036 obligations are not community-care claims already paid

VA awards often obligate as medical contracts, leases, and assistance rows and draw as care is delivered. The $1,690,040,505.01 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of encounters completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A VA medical-center dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 036, TX-35 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Veterans Affairs is the nationwide agency book without a TX-35 filter. This extract does not split health care from benefits, and it does not split community care from in-house contracts. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 323 awards, agency 036, and Texas 35th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the TX-35 VA table omits

The extract has no medical-center names, patient counts, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,690,040,505.01, 323 awards, agency 036, Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas 35th District (TX-35), and district parent $4,538,296,439.74. Facility folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 323-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the VA × TX-35 pair lives

Start with Texas 35th District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Veterans Affairs cell. Department of Veterans Affairs is the nationwide agency listing. Texas federal spending gives Texas context without a TX-35 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. 323 awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a patient census. Keep both Department of Veterans Affairs and Texas 35th District (TX-35) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,690,040,505.01 as cash already paid or as Texas’s entire veterans appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much VA spending is obligated in Texas 35th District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,690,040,505.01 in Department of Veterans Affairs (agency 036) obligations with Texas 35th District (TX-35) as place of performance, across 323 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $4,538,296,439.74 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 036.

Do 323 awards mean 323 VA clinics in TX-35?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Veterans Affairs actions tagged to TX-35. It is not a clinic, patient, or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $5,232,323.54 is a quotient of $1,690,040,505.01 and 323, not a cost per veteran.

Does this VA cell include DoD health care in TX-35?

No. This page is awarding agency 036 only. Defense health lines are other joins. $1,690,040,505.01 is about 37.2% of the Texas 35th District parent $4,538,296,439.74 by arithmetic — a large slice of a relatively small district book.

Is the TX-35 VA total already paid as care?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,690,040,505.01 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Claims draws and remaining balances are not published here.
