Motto: "Not for self, but for Texas"
Brief History of CRT
On March 3, 1928, during the
DRT General Convention, Mrs. Clara Driscoll Sevier, President
General, asked The Daughters assembled to bring young people
into the organization to take an active part. A committee was set up to
make plans to organize the children into chapters.
Members of this DRT committee were Mrs. Joseph Carnal, San Antonio;
Mrs. J. T. Cox, Austin; and Miss Bess Ferguson, Palestine. During
DRT Convention one year later, on March 1, 1929, the committee
made the following motion, which carried:
That The Daughters of the Republic
of Texas sponsor the organization to be known as the Children
of the Republic of Texas, such members to be subject to the Bylaws
of our organization pertaining to membership and objectives and
that a committee be appointed to further the same.
Application for
Membership
A set of CRT application papers
may be purchased from the member's sponsoring DRT Chapter's CRT
Registrar or CRT Registrar General. Computer-Version application
forms on diskette for CRT are available from the Custodian General's
office. Instructions for preparation of a CRT application are
the same as DRT application papers and may be found in DRT MOP,
Membership (Application Preparation Instructions).
Checks or money orders for the
initiation fee of ten dollars ($10.00) or supplemental fee of ten dollars
($10.00) should accompany the completed application.
One check must be sent for each
applicant. When a family with two or more applicants sends papers
at the same time, one check to cover all members of the family
is acceptable. A chapter check covering several applicants of
different families is not acceptable. This can hold up approval
of all others if one application is delayed.
Chapter CRT Registrars will be
notified by the CRT Registrar General when an application is
approved. If applicant wishes to be notified, a stamped, self-addressed
post card may be included with name of applicant, ancestor's
name and space for date approved.
