The Chapter Today
With over 100 members and new women added every year, our chapter has continued to thrive throughout our 90+ year history. A love of Texas history binds women of all ages with the common goal of enjoying and preserving the history of our beloved state. By researching and documenting each generation of our family history back to our ancestors from the early 1800's (before February of 1846), we have established a bond to the past and to each other. Daughters of the Republic of Texas rely on the volunteers of all of its chapters to provide numerous hours of their time to the cause.
