AARP Texas

Las fiestas son un tiempo para estar juntos, celebrar y dar. Desafortunadamente, los estafadores aprovechan la temporada para darse regalos a sí mismos, usando tu dinero para pagar por ellos. De hecho, un nuevo estudio de AARP muestra que todo el proceso de entrega de regalos, desde comprar el regalo perfecto hasta asegurarse de que llegue al destinatario, ofrece una serie de oportunidades para que los estafadores se aprovechen.

AARP Austin in partnership Safe Streets Austin has helped create public spaces designed for residents of all ages, abilities and needs. The "Healthy Streets" initiative, allowed for the closing of a 10-mile stretch of Austin's roads to vehicles so that it would be open to walkers and cyclists. This temporary pandemic closure has now become permanent. AARP continues to fight for a healthier Austin.

The Christmas traditions of Mexican culture—gathering for a tamalada, holding Las Posadas or celebrating La Virgen de Guadalupe—can be found widely across Texas.

Amid growing food insecurity, during the holidays, Texans should be aware of signs of hunger in their relatives and friends.

AARP asked the Austin mayoral candidates where they stand on key issues for 50-plus voters.

Los riesgos son inevitables en este mundo, y esa es la razón por la que tenemos seguros: para mitigarlos. Por el precio de una prima, transfieres parte del riesgo a la compañía de seguros y a cambio recibes un pago si se presenta un problema. El objetivo es reducir tu vulnerabilidad ante una pérdida repentina y potencialmente catastrófica, y proteger así tu patrimonio financiero y el de tus seres queridos. En teoría suena bien, pero algunas formas de seguro no son necesarias o quizás no valgan la pena.

AARP Texas focused on celebrating the beauty of Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) with diverse events across the Lone Star State. It was a great time to provide opportunities to recognize the contributions and influences Hispanic Americans bring to the United States through historical and cultural events. From Houston to Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and the Rio Grande Valley, all corners of the state were beaming with pride.

In March 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us were called into one of the most important and under-recognized roles someone can be: a family caregiver. Thirty months later, we at AARP bring recognition to this role in honor of National Family Caregiver Month and bring to light the importance of these selfless people. The term "family caregiver" refers to the millions of Americans who help their parents, spouses, and other loved ones remain at home. They provide emotional, physical, financial, and companionship to those they care for daily.

Being a caregiver for a loved one can be rewarding but also challenging.

In 2022, AARP Community Challenge grants went toward five projects in Texas that aim to make communities more livable for residents of all ages.
