Eligibility Requirements for Widows of Texas Masons

Widows are eligible to live at Texas Masonic Retirement Community if the related eligible Texas Master Mason was in good standing with a Texas Lodge. This is defined as a Texas Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Texas or a Texas Chapter working under the jurisdiction of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Texas for five (5) years preceding the application to move to Texas Masonic Retirement Community.

In addition, a widow applying for admission, must have been continuously married to an eligible Mason for three years prior to the time of application. If a widow remarries to a non-Mason, she becomes ineligible.
