The Veteran's Court application process
Veterans Treatment Court is a specialized court, overseen by Judge Urrutia, 450th District Court, designed to meet the particular needs of the veteran community. The goal is to promote sobriety, recovery, and stability through a coordinated response that involves the cooperation and collaboration of many different levels of the Veterans Treatment Court team. The program utilizes a non-adversarial approach in which the Veterans Court team works together with the Veteran to guide him/her toward successfully attaining their goals.

You’ll need to complete the 1010EZ and take it to the VA. When you walk in go to the reception desk and ask them where you need to take the form. They will help you from there. Once you get registered with the VA, you will get a primary care appointment once you get that appt, you will then call the SATP clinic and request an assessment. If you are a combat veteran, the other option is that you can call the Austin Vet Center (512) 416-1314, schedule an appt with Patrick Smith and let him know that you’re needing to have a screening completed for the Veterans Court program. This is the easier and quicker option. However, you will need to get enrolled in the VA regardless of which avenue you take.
