Freemasonry in a state is governed by the Grand Lodge for that jurisdiction. The Grand Lodge oversees the Craft lodges, issues charters, sets ritual and governance standards, and handles discipline within its territory. In Texas, that authority rests with the Grand Lodge of Texas, which supervises all Blue Lodges in the state. The Royal Arch Chapter and the Scottish Rite are separate appendant bodies with their own governance structures, and they do not govern the Craft lodges statewide. The Texas Freemasonry Council isn’t the umbrella governing Freemasonry in Texas.
