in good taste.

not link to or be linked to by any website where a conflict with the
principles of Freemasonry, could be assumed, suggested, or perceived.

the Grand Lodge of Texas is strongly encouraged.
- Names, addresses,
telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc. of Grand Lodge Officers,
committee members, or District Officers will not be published in Lodge
websites.
- Information displayed
on the Lodge webpage should be accurate and current. All names,
addresses, locations, activities and dates, must be checked regularly to
ensure recent changes have been posted. In no case should a Lodge
website to refer to past activities as though they were yet to occur.
- Activities that are
listed as “OPEN TO THE PUBLIC” are appropriate to announce Lodge
Officers Installation, Ladies nights and other related activities.

be construed as such, should not be used. Instead, these should be
listed as “OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE GRAND LODGE OF TEXAS”.

websites. The Lodge webpage should never be used for the financial
gain or interest of a member.
