member may be suspended for non-payment of dues at the direction of
the Executive Committee. A prior notice of delinquent members will
be sent to the chapter prior to the annual meeting. After such
suspension, a member may be dropped from active membership and

Membership and application
The primary requirement to be a
member of The Sons of the Republic of Texas is to be a male of
direct, lineal descendant from an ancestor who was in the Republic
of Texas before February 19, 1846. Other more minor
requirements exist. All of these can be found on the General
Information form under the "Applications" button to the left.

Types of
Membership
JUNIOR (under 18):
Junior members pay no annual dues, and may not vote or hold office.
At age 18 they are automatically upgraded to regular membership.
Applicants for junior membership pay a, one time, non-refundable
processing fee of $20.00.
REGULAR (18 or over):
Dues for regular members are $40 a year. Applicants for regular
membership pay a non-refundable application fee of $50. Their dues
are waived for the current year.
LIFE: Life membership, which exempts members from
payment of annual dues, is open to a member of any age for a fee
based on their age. Junior members shall become Life Members upon
payment of $1,000.00. Regular members between the ages of 18 and 40
years shall become Life Members upon payment of $750.00. Regular
members over the age of 40 years shall become Life Members upon
payment of $600.00. New Applicants for life membership pay this fee
in addition to a processing fee of $20.
POSTHUMOUS (deceased): Application for posthumous
membership may be made on behalf of any deceased person who would
otherwise be eligible for membership, so long as his death occurred
after the founding of the SRT (March 30,1922). The $100 fee includes
processing and a bronze grave marker.
HONORARY: Honorary membership is granted to a maximum
of three people a year by vote of the general membership. Honorary
members, who cannot be eligible by reason of lineal descent, are
chosen for having rendered outstanding service to Texas by
furthering the aims and goals of the Sons of the Republic of Texas.
The Honorary Membership starts at the Chapter level. Our
Chapter can sponsor and grant honorary chapter membership by
majority vote at the local chapter level. We then present it
to the SRT headquarters and the winter meeting for full
consideration at the annual meeting. If approved, the member
is inducted for following year.
Miscellaneous: All donations in excess of the
annual dues are tax deductible. Dues are payable in advance for each
calendar year. A member can vote and hold office in one chapter, but
can hold dual membership in other chapters on payment of $6.00 for
each additional chapter. A member may transfer his membership
affiliation to another chapter, but must request in writing. A
processing fee of $20 must be paid for each supplemental ancestor
that the SRT acknowledges.
