I am appraising raw land and special use assets for the State of Texas and Texas Veteran's Land Board Programs. Texas' lands held in trust for its citizens are vast and varied. These land and building resources help fund the public schools fund and other worthy projects for the benefit of the citizens of Texas, and indirectly for America and the world.
