Membership for those who own Texas Longhorn cattle or those who are simply interested in helping Cattlemen's Texas Longhorn Registry preserve and promote the Texas Longhorn is available and affordable. All members will receive a Certificate of Membership and complete information packet on cattle inspection and registration. A new DNA test for evidence of impurity is being developed. For the year of 2008, the CTLR is not able to accept new cattle into the Registry; only female offspring of two registered parents may be subsequently registered without visual inspection and a DNA test resulting in no evidence of influence from other breeds. We hope to offer DNA testing for new applicants in early 2009.

*Lifetime and Active members must own at least one CTLR registered breeding animal (see Cattle Registration) and receive unanimous approval of the Board of Directors.

Founding, Lifetime and Active members shall be entitled to influence policy with a one-man, one-vote representation either from the floor or through mail-in (not proxy) ballots.

Membership is not restricted to county, state or country.

Membership Application

Please be patient to receive confirmation of your new membership. We are a non-profit organization and our staff is all volunteer. It is not uncommon to allow registration applications and membership applications to accumulate and the data entry is all made in one day about every three to four months.

We are able to process rush orders. Feel free to call or email. We are happy to mail a membership packet, brochure and bumper stickers upon request. It is best to drop us an email so you can be immediately added to our mailing list to receive event announcements. Most of our correspondence these days is via email. We rarely mail newsletters via US Postal Service.
