How the 15 mile rule works in Texas
NARM does not apply within 15 miles of the institution where you hold your membership, and in a state this shape that matters differently depending on where you joined.
- Holocaust Museum Houston members lose 8 of the other 40 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 32.
- Bullock Texas State History Museum members lose 4 of the other 40 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 36.
- Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library & Museum members lose 4 of the other 40 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 36.
Planning a trip around Texas
Houston is the busiest single base: 10 of the 41 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 24% of the state list. Another 29 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 674 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
