I guess that answers the original question.

Is Texas its own country, kinda and no… Not unlike the original 13 states that compose the “American confederacy “( nothing to do with the civil war) You suggest researching the archives, been there done that. since you responded so quickly I assume you didn’t read the other facts offered...

Attitude dialed back a bit, Thank you. I’m 63, been in the East 3x in my lodge. While there I ask several questions, and got 0 feed back each time. The last time I got a call from the GM himself, had a discussion and was assured a response. Nothing…. Not trying to seduce you or lead you...
