Is there any written guidance anywhere on how long a lodge needs to keep old financial records? We have consolidated three lodges, and have inherited stuff like boxes of dues payment stubs from thirty years ago, electrical bills, etc.

You may want to go through them before trashing old ones that no longer need to be kept. I do not know what Texas Grand Lodge recommends, but you may want to keep a few for history records. Such as events, purchase of jewels, regalia, etc.
I'm grateful for people who are chiming in with their own advice on the matter, but I would really like to know if someone has seen printed material from the Grand Lodge of Texas addressing this. I've dropped a line to the Grand Sec.s office, but they appareently are too busy to respond.
