The object of this Society shall be the stimulation and improvement of the science and art of surgery, the elevation of the standards of the practice of medicine, and such other matters as may come legitimately within its sphere.

Surgeons who are interested in membership in the Texas Surgical Society should do so by contacting a current member. The following is from Article III of the Constitution of the Texas Surgical Society:

Section 2. Active Fellowship: The Active Fellowship shall be limited to 300 Fellows who are residents of the state of Texas and citizens of the United States of America. To be eligible for Active Fellowship candidates must be at least 30 years of age and must have resided and practiced a minimum of 2 years in the town from which the application is received and must be a graduate of 9 years' standing from a recognized medical college. Surgeons of unusual qualifications may be placed on the ballot by the Council before they satisfy the residence requirements. Candidates shall have had special training in surgery and certification by their specialty board or equivalent qualifications and must be devoting their time to the practice of surgery. Candidates shall have shown outstanding ability in the preparation of scientific papers.

Section 6. Election to Fellowship: Active and Honorary Fellows shall be proposed and elected in the same manner. Application for Fellowship shall be filed with the Secretary on the Society's regular application form provided by the Secretary. The application must be endorsed by three Fellows and have attached a recent photograph of the candidate. A letter from each sponsor is required to complete the application. Should any change occur in the status of the candidate that would alter his or her qualifications for membership in the Society, the sponsors shall notify the Secretary immediately following receipt.
