So the next question would be if you are under the GLOT and not paid up in FEB. and go visit a lodge with in Texas where you have not been before and don't know anyone. Would you be grated visitation privileges or would you be told you need to get your dues card current.
You are not currently a member in good standing. I'm pretty sure that you could be denied entry, depending on the WM, if you do not posses a current dues card. For our January stated meeting, at my lodge, we (Deacons) will be checking Every dues card and reminding any brother that if they do not have a current dues card (paid up for 2014) come February, they will be denied entry.
Art. 380. (416). Good Standing. Upon notification to the
Worshipful Master, and at his discretion, a member of a Lodge
under the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge may visit any Texas
Masonic Lodge working under this jurisdiction without the
avouchment and or examination process providing that he is in
good standing and presents a receipt from his Lodge showing
that his dues are current at the time of said visitation along
with a photo identification; except in cases provided for in Art.
382. Sojourning Masons from other jurisdictions must possess a
current dues card and shall be vouched for or examined in accordance
with Art. 381.
