Different jurisdiction, different rules.I don't think that a summons is "news Media". In new mexico we have the New Mexico Freemason that is put out by the GL quarterly and the brothers that took any 0f degrees during that time are listed.

of course absolutely! as far as the news media goes, but does Texas consider a summons "news Media?" I mean if the EA or FC is being called as a witness in a trial or as the subject how could you not list their name on a summons, I dont think that summonses are posted anywhere are they?Different jurisdiction, different rules.
The general usage involves "published" and "private". As summons are generally either emailed or "snail-mailed", they are considered as being published. Anyone can generally obtain possession of an email or a mailed piece- there is no guarantee that it will only be seen by the intended recipient.
I was referring to a Masonic Trail.As to "trial", are you referring to a Masonic trial or a civil/criminal one? If the former, the witness/defendant & others involved would usually be notified personally. If the latter, it is doubtful that the Masonic connection would be mentioned. Additionally, non-Masons, such as most court personnel, are not bound by Masonic law.
Correct.
From GLoTX Law:
Art. 405a. Publication of Names Prohibited.
The names of Petitioners, Candidates, Entered Apprentice Masons and Fellowcraft Masons shall not be published in a Lodge newsletter or any news media public or private. (Adopted 1990)
Not any more, my Brother. You would be much safer nowadays if you assume there is no such thing as privacy and govern yourself accordingly.with mail and email there is presumed privacy
Back in the '60s my grandmother taught me, "don't write anything in a letter you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the paper."Not any more, my Brother. You would be much safer nowadays if you assume there is no such thing as privacy and govern yourself accordingly.
