Your Electric Service > Becoming a Member

At Sam Houston Electric Cooperative, membership has its privileges. You’re more than a customer, you’re a member-owner. Membership gives you a voice in how your Cooperative is run. The Board of Directors is elected by you. You have the opportunity to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting of the Members. And capital credit refunds make membership rewarding.

In order to become a member of Sam Houston EC, you must complete an Application for Membership and Electric Service. Pick up an application at any of our three office locations, download a copy from our website or contact a Member Services Representative to have one sent to you via fax or mail. Simply return your completed application to any of our three offices in person, by fax or by mail.

When the application is processed, you will receive a unique customer number.” From that point forward, each account you establish as a member will always be associated with your unique customer number.

Please note that when establishing a membership or account in the name of a commercial entity, the company must be a corporation, or articles or incorporation must be provided.

An Application for Membership is required for all new Sam Houston EC members, or when membership has been inactive for three consecutive months.
