On March 1, 1929, during the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Convention, a motion was made and passed that the DRT sponsor a junior organization known as the “Children of the Republic of Texas.” The first CRT chapter organized was Alamo Mission in San Antonio, With 34 members.
On November 25, 1991, our
chapter held its first meeting. Our
goals were to select a chapter name and elect officers. Several names were considered
including names of special events and places in the Metroplex area, as well as,
names of family ancestors. The final
majority vote was to name our chapter “The Texas Pioneers”. A pioneer is a person who goes
before to prepare the way for others. Our
pioneer ancestors prepared the way and formed the foundation of our State.
These courageous individuals gave us a fascinating history of which we
are proud. We, as the Chartering Chapter
Members and Children of the Republic of Texas, see ourselves as pioneers –
preparing the way for the foundation of our chapter and the study of Texas
history. We thank the Charles Calvin McCoy Chapter of the DRT for sponsoring our Chapter and encouraging our understanding of the importance of our link to the past and the future of Texas
