 Texas Society Heraldry & Coats of Arms Club

Heraldry is an important part of the Object of our Society.
Club President Karen Kurth Hall invites you to join
the Texas Society Heraldry/Coats of Arms Club!

The Texas Society Heraldry/COA Interest Group was formed in 2013. This interest group became the Texas Society Heraldry Club in March 2025 when it was created by Texas Society Standing Rule 20.
  
There shall be a State Heraldry Club composed of members with at least one approved Coats of Arms application, whose object is to encourage social relations and to promote and support the National Society’s library of Heraldry and the preservation of the lineage and Coats of Arms of our armorial ancestors. Club meetings are open to all, but only qualifying club members may vote to conduct club business.
 
Texas Dames who have achieved verification of “at least” one Coat of Arms (COA) application will still be eligible to purchase a beautiful Heraldry Club Pin in recognition of that exciting achievement!

Pins are $20.00 and available for purchase at Fall Workshop and State Conference only.  If you are unable to attend, you may have someone from your chapter who is attending pick up your pin for you.  To reserve your pin, please email Club President Karen Hall ahead of time at kurthhall920@yahoo.com.
