Texas SAR Dues:

• Payable by mid-December annually, unless you've chosen the Perpetual option. Check it out as the Perpetual fee was revised slightly downward a few years back. Otherwise, dues are payable by mid-December via Texas SAR online or U.S. mail. But a late payment is better than no payment!

• Texas SAR Online Dues & Donations payments are simple. Your National Society SAR member number and either a PayPal or Credit Card is required. Note: Each chapter may have their own dues rate, they are not all the same. Be sure to select the primary chapter for the coming new year! The payment total will include the National Society, Texas Society and Chapter portions. Other payment options are available, including Dual Chapters, Special Membership Categories, Unrestricted Donations and Specific Award programs. One payment should handle all your needs.

  After your fees are identified and when you continue for the actual payment, PayPal and Credit Card options are available. Note payments after Nov. 1st are credited for the following year. Please don't wait until next year to make your payment, please complete your dues payment by mid-December!

  If you experience a browser error about Popup Blockers, then follow the simple online instructions to disable your browser Popup Blocker prior to utilizing the Texas SAR online payment form. Once your dues are complete, then re-enable your Popup Blocker as you may desire.

• Texas SAR Dues Invoices are available to print for mailing of a check. To use the Dues Invoice, access the Texas SAR private site, Members tab and select Dues Invoices. Your National Society SAR member number and printer access is required. Contact a chapter officer for more instructions on private site access and features.

  This will make and print a Dues Invoice specifically for you and will automatically select your primary chapter of record. Use the Texas SAR Online Dues & Donations above without continuing to completion to inquire of dual chapter rates. The top section is for your records, the bottom section is for mailing. Add primary/dual chapters to both sections as needed. As always, please revise your contact information, make your intentions clear, and mail the invoice & check to the address indicated.

  Note payments after Nov. 1st are credited for the following year. Please don't wait until next year to make your payment, please complete your dues payment by mid-December!

Transfers to Texas SAR Chapters:

Contact the new local Texas Society Chapter Secretary to assist with transfers. As always, please revise your current contact information and make your intentions clear.

• The form should be sent (email or US mail) to the old State Society SAR Secretary with instructions to return it to the new Texas Chapter Secretary. The check should be held until the completed form is received from the other State Secretary.
