WB--I am sure that you are right in that there is a time lag for the renewal you filled out at the Louisville Farm Show to be forwarded to Texas and be processed.  If you want to check up on it, you can call the 800 number listed in the front of the magazine for an update.  The new membership cards are being printed now, and will be in the mail shortly.  Sorry for the delays, but hope you can understand a few bugs in switching over to a completely different system of handling the renewals.  Thanks for your patience, Terry.
