San Jacinto Chapter #1 has been given the privilege of adopting the 1836 Draft of the Republic of Texas Constitution, which is held in the archives of the General Land Office. The history of this interesting document has been carefully researched by Mr. Jerry C. Drake, and he has graciously shared his research paper with us. The chapter was also able to adopt an old map known as “Harris County Sketch File 3, Perkins Island - San Jacinto River”, which is an 1857 depiction of the bays, estuaries and islands around the San Jacinto Battleground.

The San Jacinto Chapter # 1 of The Sons of the Republic of Texas recognizes the commissioning into service by the U.S. Navy a new submarine named the USS Texas (SSN 775) in the year 2006, and the San Jacinto Chapter intends to present annual awards to certain outstanding enlisted submariners of the USS Texas.  A committee, chaired by Lewis M. Chandler, has been formed to facilitate this project.
