I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way but besides being an honerable member what do you get for joining and paying dues ? Do you get a certificate that says you’re bonafied? Bonafied hat?
I see they send out a publication - they have community service activities and chapter dinners etc or whatever?

Send your SS card back to the government, send your driver license back to the state, dont have to deal with common LEO, etc..
I dated a girl, who's dad was hardcore into it. He's a bigwig at Peterbuilt and caught alot of flack over the tax thing.
I went to a few meetings, but never jumped in.

I don't know about anything like that. Our chapter is focused primarily in the protection of the Alamo and it's legacy thru educational means. Our chapter meetings seem to reinforce the sacrifice of the Alamo warriors and to supporting elements of the battle of the Texas Independence. Lots of stuff our today's Texas History classes do not support nor will acknowledge. There are also charities and scholarships funded thru various chapters.
I hope that helps.

The Houston (San Jac) chapter has monthly meetings at Post Oak Grill with a speaker, that are worth going to.
Candidly it is more of Historian, recreate battles, celebrate TX Independence Day, older group of people. You are pretty correct with your assessment. I used to go to the monthly meetings when I worked closer to the lunch spot
But to answer you question. Dues are $44/year and I want to say the group does good work for TX and its History. The Sons and Daughters did a lot with the Alamo and its records for example. They also helped me research my family history and assisted with the application.Last edited by batmaninja; 04-22-2019, 01:48 PM.
