Q: How
do I get involved in the Texas BASS Federation Nation?
A: The Texas BASS Federation Nation is an association
of bass clubs around the state that are affiliated with Bass
Anglers Sportsmen Society (B.A.S.S.). So the fist step as
an individual is to locate a club in your area that is affiliated
with the Texas BASS Federation Nation. To find a Southeast Region
club, go to the Region
Clubs page.
You can either contact
the Region Director for assistance or contact a representative
of the club nearest you. The club officers and members will
guide you on how the membership process works.
Q: How
does our bass club become affiliated with the Texas BASS Federation Nation?
A: There are some basic requirements for
clubs that affiliate with the Texas BASS Federation Nation. There
must be at least 6 club members and all members of your club
must be a member in good standing with B.A.S.S. Please
review the Federation Nation Information Packet document for more details
and a listing of the required forms. All required forms can
be found on the Membership page of the State site. Forms and dues should
be submitted to the Texas BASS Federation Nation Secretary.
Q: When
I join a club, how much will my annual dues be, and where does
my money go?
A: Club dues can range from $50/year to
$150/year depending on how active a club is. As you know,
every organization needs operating funds and your dues
help each level of the Federation provide the services
and benefits you enjoy as a BASS Federation member. Of
the dues you pay at the club level, $20.00 goes to the
National Federation and $18.00 goes to the State Federation.
The remainder of the dues are your clubs operating funds
for that year.

are Federation dues required to be submitted each year?

Federation dues are due by December 31st of each year and
are generally paid by the club on behalf of it's members.

does our club need to send in the State Championship registration
form and fees?
