Texas Society SAR Dues:
Payable annually by Year-End, unless you've chosen the
Perpetual option.
Check out the Perpetual fee as it was revised slightly downward a few years back.
Remit dues after October 1st and prior to year-end via Texas SAR online, which accepts PayPal or Credit Card;
or by U.S. mail.
Note: Remittances after October 1st are credited for the following year.
If postmarked after year-end NSSAR considers you delinquent,
NOT in good standing, where reinstatment is required! Please avoid a late payment,
but a late payment is better than no payment and please avoid the need for a reinstatment.
Your National Society member number required! If you don't know it, perhaps we can assist.
For Texas SAR members in good standing:
- Use the Texas SAR Dues Invoice mailed to you and follow its instructions.
It was mailed to your last known postal address.
- Or use the Texas SAR Online Dues & Donations payments method.
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 fees.
Other donation fees are available, including Dual Chapters, Special Membership Categories,
Unrestricted Donations and Specific Award programs.
One payment should handle all your needs. The total may be remitted via PayPal or Credit Card.
