Federal tax credit still an option for some buyers

The federal tax-credit deadline to have a house under contract has come and gone for most homebuyers, but not all.

Members of the military who have served outside the U.S. for at least 90 days between Dec. 31, 2008, and May 1, 2010, have until April 30, 2011, to enter into a contract on a home, according to the IRS.

The IRS also makes clear that only one spouse of a married couple need meet that overseas requirement for either spouse to be eligible for the deadline extension.

In addition to the Federal Tax Credit, San Antonio area Veterans may also qualify for additonal cash rebates available exclusively from real estate agent Randy Watson of Mission Realty via the Military Relocation Incentives Program.

Texas - America’s Top State for Business

The Texas economy continues to receive national attention. This month, CNBC named Texas America’s Top State for Business for the second time. Texas was also recently named the “Best State to Do Business” by CEO Magazine for the sixth year in a row, and six of Texas’ metro areas were listed as “America’s Recovery Capitals” by Forbes and Moody’s Economy.

No other state is home to more Fortune 500 companies, and Texas is the nation’s leading exporting state for the eighth year in a row. Texas created more private sector jobs than any other state in the nation over the last 10 years. Additionally, Texas’ unemployment rate dropped to 8.2 percent in June, well below the national average.

“As Americans look for the best place to live, work and raise a family, more of them are heading to Texas all the time,” Gov. Perry said. “The root cause of our economic success is hardworking Texans, but pro-job policies, low taxes, predictable regulations and fair legal system have also helped Texas lead the nation in job creation.”

Governor Perry Issues Proclamation for Day of Prayer in the State of Texas Sunday, June 27, 2010

News Release: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 | Austin, Texas

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:

WHEREAS, the Gulf Coast has suffered an unfortunate loss of life due to the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which continues to threaten livelihoods, economies and precious coastal wildlife ecosystems with devastation and destruction; and

WHEREAS, throughout our history, both as a state and as individuals, Texans have been strengthened, assured and lifted up through prayer; and

WHEREAS, prayer provides peace and guidance in times of crisis and conflict, and reminds us of the comforting assurance of God's love for us all; and

WHEREAS, it seems right and fitting that the people of Texas should join with their fellow Gulf Coast residents and others across the country and around the world to thank God, seek his wisdom for ourselves and our leaders, and ask him for his merciful intervention and healing in this time of crisis;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim Sunday, June 27, 2010, as a Day of Prayer in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and religious traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of individuals, the rebuilding of communities and the restoration of entire Gulf Coast environment in the wake of this disaster.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto signed my name and have officially caused the Seal of State to be affixed at my Office in the City of Austin, Texas, this the 23rd day of June, 2010.

RICK PERRY
Governor of Texas
