Description
Organized in 1904 by Dr. and Mrs. Oscar Wilkinson, the Texas State Society (TSS) of Washington, DC was formed "to foster and encourage a fraternal spirit among the Texans at the National Capital, to render assistance when necessary to all sons and daughters of the Lone Star State, and to increase their patriotic love for Texas and the American Nation."
The first yearbook was published in 1906 with a total of 97 members and has grown to an organization of over 3,500 Texans and Friends of Texas today. Famous Texans who have served the Society as President include the Honorable Richard Kleberg of King Ranch fame, the Honorable Lyndon Baines Johnson of Johnson City, the Honorable Jim Wright of Fort Worth.
