This came on to my radar recently and it appears to be a Yet Another (steeply priced) Display Site.
http://books.txauthors.com/default.asp
Membership starts at 100.00, though it's 115.00 on another page, and 500.00 if you want "advertizing" added on.
So far as I can tell the promotion seems limited to the website and maybe you get a bumper sticker. There's no mention of tote bags or lollipop trees, but they may not have thought of those yet.

"[FONT="]Texas Association of Authors was created by B. Alan Bourgeois in 2011 when he realized that a program of some sort needed to be created that gave authors a ‘boost’ in their ability to sale and market their books. As an author, he struggled along with thousands of others trying to find the one thing to separate him from everyone else."
[/FONT]My take is that this is not a venue I would recommend, there being little to no obvious return on the investment to writers. However, it must be a nice little extra income trickle for Mr. Bourgeois.
The place has a business sponsorship with Black Rose Writing, which uses Publish America / America Star Books as an example. BR has a thread in this forum. BR is out 500.00 bucks on that one, so there's some delicious irony there.
