Report from the TSRA Executive Director was that as of the end of the show, TSRA had signed up a total of 143 new members in various membership categories. I would expect a few more to trickle in from folks who took literature, but did not sign up at the show.

Wife and I will be back next time it is in Texas

We signed up more than 60 new members for TSRA on Friday. Hope to do better on Saturday. Need all the support we can get before the next legislative session.

Had a great time talking with reps of many of the venders I use. Not as much swag as the last Dallas show, but did get some. Ran into quite a few people I knew (or knew me) and was able to put faces to some whom I only knew on-line.

Wife was a real trooper and managed to stick with me from 0900 till we left about 1700. She even helped out with the TSRA booth during my shift.

Folks at the registration desk should be able to look you up. I am pretty sure that you can have one guest. I solved that problem before the last Dallas Meeting by getting the wife an NRA membership.

Stop over at the TSRA booth which is supposed to be near the registration and say HI.

Last time it was in Dallas, I carried both on DART and at the KBH Convention Center no issue. IIRC, when then President Trump spoke, again IIRC, carry was not allowed in the place where he was speaking as that was Secret Service controlled, but the rest of the site was OK.

Badges for me and the wife arrived in the mail today. I'll be driving up Thursday and will be at the convention all day Friday. Will be pulling a shift in the TSRA booth sometime probably after lunch. Understand it will be located near the check-in area. Stop by and say hi.

Really enjoyed the last one in Dallas. Saw a few dispirited protestors, but they did not interfere. Was able to stay at a reasonably priced hotel in Lewisville and take DART right to the KBH Convention Center.

Looking forward to another great time that is NOT in Houston.
