Texas Social Security Disability:  Lawyers, how to apply, denial rates, and how long it takes.

Texas Social Security Disability is the same as every other state at least as far as what you have to prove to win.  So make sure to read the rest of my website to see what you have to show to win.  This page will cover:  How to apply in TX?  How to find a lawyer for your SSDI or SSI claim?  What percentage of cases in TX are denied at application and reconsideration?  How long does it take at the hearing stage to get a decision.

On this page you will also find the addresses of the ODAR (hearing) offices for Texas.  I have also listed the location of all the local SSA offices that that particular ODAR office serves.

 

You can apply for Social Security Disability in TX in several ways.  You can call 1-800-772-1213 and make an appointment at your local SSA office.  You can also apply on-line at the SSA website.  You can also contact a lawyer who handles Social Security Disability claims to help you with your application.  The on-line option is not available for those applying for SSI.  If you are applying for SSI you have to make an appointment with your local SSA office.

I am frequently asked what are my chances of winning?  Every case is different of-course but I can provide some statistics that may be of some help.  In TX the denial rate at application is 61.3% and the denial rate at reconsideration is 81.9%.  To see how Texas compares to other states see ssdi and ssi denial rates.  Another question I am asked quite often is how long does it take to get a decision at the hearing stage?  Below you will find the average processing time for each ODAR in the state.  If you have a hearing coming up you may want to look at my page on Social Security Disability hearings.
