To become a FULL MEMBER a brother must prepare a suitable research paper, have it accepted by the Editorial Committee and present it before the Lodge. If the paper is well received he will be invited to FULL MEMBERSHIP by the other FULL MEMBERS present. Only FULL MEMBERS can hold elective office in TEXAS LODGE of RESEARCH.
THE WHITE APRON has a gold border with a gold five pointed star embroidered in the center. The letters G.L.R.T. across the bottom of the apron stand for "Grand Lodge of the Republic of Texas." The All-Seeing Eye is emblazoned on the bib.
MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATES can proudly show their affiliation with Texas Lodge of Research by wearing the TLR lapel pin. The gold pin is beautifully finished in white enamel depicting the apron design.
