Call 988, then press 1. The link dials 988; you press 1 after the call connects.

Lubbock County

The card on the home page points here for local veteran services. A named county office, phone list, or detachment-endorsed counselor is not published yet, because that list has not been confirmed.

Use the VA locator and the Texas Veterans Commission above for services that cover Lubbock County. When the detachment confirms local contacts, they can be added here.
