CVMA Membership Application Process and Requirements
The process for applying for membership in the Texas Chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) involves completing online applications, submitting required documentation, and ensuring all paperwork is accurate and up-to-date. Applications must include specific information, such as proof of insurance, driver's license, and military discharge records. Once approved, initial dues are paid, and new members are assigned a member number. Reinstatement is not possible, and any former members must reapply with proper documentation. The application process is overseen by the Chapter Secretary or Commander and reviewed by the Texas State Representative.

The DD-214 or ERB/ORB It is your duty and responsibility to safe guard every applicant s Personally Identifiably Information (PII). Always ask an applicant to submit a DD214 or ERB/ORB with their SSN and DOB redacted (blacked out). We don t need that information for anything so it s best that we never have received it. 9 20 May 2020 REVISION 1.5
The DD-214 or ERB/ORB Be vigilant against fake documentation. Stolen valor is very real. Here is an example of a fake DD214 (expand the image if needed). Notice the different fonts, breaks in awards, and combat patches are not annotated on a DD214.
