Regular Member

If you are a direct or collateral descendant of a soldier who served in Hood's Texas Brigade, fill out the attached Application Form (a Microsoft Word document) and process as directed. Your application will be checked against the brigade rosters and upon acceptance you will receive a certificate. New Member applications are $40. Dues are $25 per year.

Definition of Collateral: For the Association, “collateral” is broadly interpreted to include not only brothers of the direct ancestor but also descendants of the siblings of the direct ancestor, i.e. cousins. By this broad interpretation of “collateral” the association hopes to encourage membership and increase its ranks.
