Should this not be 

#+LATEX: \vspace*{0.5in}

instead of TEXT?

By the way, if you want such commands to be recognised inline within
normal org text, without having to escape them, I do the following:

#+latex_header: \newcommand{\Gap}[1]{\vspace*{#1}}

and then simply type \Gap{0.5in} whenever you want to invoke this vspace
command.  One could argue that the latex escaping that org does should
include *'ed commands as well... but this may have other repercussions
that I am not aware of.
