- Attend a Spring Information Session hosted by Texas Exes Association staff members throughout March/April.

- Complete the year-long onboarding and training process with the Texas Exes Association staff.
What is the difference between Chapters and Networks?
Chapters, both chartered and non-chartered, are local affiliates of the Texas Exes and are geographic bound. Networks are affiliates of the Texas Exes; an affinity network is a group of people who share interests, issues, and a common bond or background, and offer support for each other.
Onboarding Notes:
We onboard new chapters and networks annually in the spring. If you are interested in establishing a chapter in your area or begin the process of starting a network, you will need to attend one online information session with the Chapter and Network Department staff.
Please be sure to complete the online interest form so that you can receive further information regarding the online information session.
If you are looking to establish a chapter or network and it is outside the window of onboarding, you will be able to move forward with this process the following spring.
Once you have attended the information session, if you would like to continue the onboarding process of establishing a new chapter or network, you will be to do so with the support of the Texas Exes Chapter and Network Staff.
All Texas Exes Chapters and Networks receive a registered trademarked logo, website, Office 365 account, Premium Eventbrite account, and other resources!
Note: Our Texas Exes Chapter and Network Charter Year runs from July 1-June 30th of the next year. The Texas Exes Chapters and Networks department hosts new leader training sessions in July of each year and an in-person leadership conference the first home-football game weekend.
