Retirement Planning & Insurance for Texas Residents
Texas is the second-largest state in the country, and it's home to millions of retirees and pre-retirees who want their money to work as hard as they do. Whether you're in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or a small town in between, your retirement savings need a solid plan.
Advanced Capital Management is fully licensed in Texas and has been helping families across the country with annuities, life insurance, and retirement planning since 1986. We work with Texas clients by phone and video — same great service, no matter where you are in the Lone Star State.
Texas's combination of zero state income tax, a strong housing market, and reasonable cost of living in many regions makes it one of the most retirement-friendly states in the country. But that tax advantage only matters if your withdrawal plan, Social Security strategy, and beneficiary structure are all working together. That's where we come in.
Your first 20-minute consultation is free. We'll look at your savings, your Social Security, and your income goals — and give you an honest assessment.

Texas has no state income tax, which is a huge advantage for retirees. But that doesn't mean you can ignore tax planning. Federal taxes on 401(k) withdrawals, IRA distributions, and Social Security can still take a big bite. We help Texas residents minimize their federal tax burden through strategic Roth conversions and tax-deferred annuities.
The energy industry, military, and federal government are major employers in Texas. Many of our Texas clients are retiring from companies like ExxonMobil, Lockheed Martin, or federal agencies with complex benefit packages. We specialize in helping these clients make the most of their pensions, TSPs, and 401(k)s.
Texas has a wide range of costs of living — from expensive markets in Austin and Dallas to very affordable areas in smaller cities. We help Texas retirees build income plans that match their local expenses and lifestyle goals.
Property taxes in Texas are among the highest in the nation, which can be a real budget item for retired homeowners. We factor that into your annual income plan and help clients evaluate over-65 homestead exemptions and tax-deferral options that can keep monthly costs predictable.

Common Retirement Questions from Texas Clients
"I'm retiring from the oil and gas industry with a big 401(k)"
Energy industry retirees in Texas often have significant 401(k) balances. The key question is how to convert that lump sum into reliable income without taking on excessive market risk. We help you structure rollovers into annuities and IRAs that provide guaranteed income for life.
Explore 401(k) rollover options"I'm a military retiree — how do I maximize my benefits?"
Texas has a large military population. Military pensions provide a great income foundation, but optimizing your TSP, Social Security timing, and supplemental income can significantly increase your total retirement income. We help military retirees in Texas get the most from every benefit.
See lifetime income options"Texas has no income tax — do I still need tax planning?"
Yes. While Texas doesn't tax your income, the federal government does. 401(k) withdrawals, IRA distributions, and up to 85% of Social Security can be federally taxable. We help Texas residents structure their accounts to minimize federal taxes in retirement.
Learn about Roth conversions"My property taxes keep going up — how do I plan around that?"
Texas property taxes can climb sharply in fast-growing metros like Austin, Dallas, and Houston. We build property tax escalation into your annual income plan and help clients use the over-65 homestead freeze and senior tax-deferral options to keep monthly housing costs in check.
See fixed index annuities"I just moved to Texas from a high-tax state — what should I do first?"
Establishing Texas residency creates a one-time window to do large Roth conversions without state tax. We help recent transplants from California, Illinois, or New York map out a multi-year conversion plan that locks in zero-state-tax growth for the rest of retirement.
