Military Employment Preference
In accordance with state law, the TCEQ promotes the hiring of veterans and applies a military employment preference to eligible veterans, spouses of veterans and active-duty military members, and orphaned children. TCEQ also applies an employment preference to former foster children in certain circumstances.
The preference is applied to identify the top candidate (new hire or current employee) when two or more candidates are equally qualified for a posted vacancy. When two candidates are equally qualified, and one candidate qualifies for military preference, then the individual with a military preference is given an employment preference.
