Life is $400 and Senior Life (65+) is $200. Endowment is $700 and Benefactor is $1000. https://www.tsra.com/formmembership.html

They may not make lots of noise but they seem more successful at getting results than most other gun organizations.

You can wear a sleeveless shirt in Texas without a license or waiting period.

P.S. Heller was about keeping a handgun at home, not carrying it in public.

If you have a CHL, I think you owe more thanks to the TSRA than the NRA. I see the TSRA working successfully to improve gun laws in Texas. On the national level the NRA has mixed results preventing antigun laws and I can't think of any infringements they got repealed. I'm a member of both but I think I get more bang for my buck from TSRA.
