The glad tidings (Kenedy, TX)

Kenedy, TX : Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona District Council, [n.d.]

v. : ill. ; 28 cm.

It appears there was a Texas District from August 1914-April 1917 when at the district council it was decided to add New Mexico and Arizona to the District, making the Tri-State District. Then later a Texas District was formed in 1931 out of the Texas-New Mexico District, with just Texas by itself being a district again. Before that it was part of the Tri-State District (Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona). It was comprised of what is now North Texas and South Texas, with West Texas being a part of the Texico District (West Texas and New Mexico). It operated as the Texas District until South Texas became its own district in 1953, causing there to be a North Texas District and a South Texas District. The name was not officially changed to North Texas District until 1956. M. B. Netzel continued as superintendent of the new North Texas District.
