LIMITATIONS:
Access to certain electronic resources, for example
FirstSearch and Lexis/Nexis, is presently excluded,
pending investigation of licensing agreements and other
issues. Inter-library loans are not provided to Tex-Share
borrowers. Material limits, and renewals will match
those provided for Lamar University patrons.
ELIGIBILITY:
A Tex-Share cardholder in good standing from an approved
institution may borrow from the Gray Library's physical
collection in general accordance with the existing local
lending policies. Full- or part-time students, faculty,
and staff of the other publicly supported four-year
institutions participating in the Tex-Share program
are currently eligible. The card is not transferable
and must be surrendered if so requested.
Borrowers must initially present their validated Tex-Share
card (issued from their home library) along with a valid
photo I.D. They will then be given a bar-coded Gray
Library "Courtesy Borrower" card which can be used for
all transactions. The bar-code will be valid for students
until the 15th day of May, August, or December, depending
upon the semester in which they are enrolled. Bar-codes
for faculty/staff will be valid until August 31 of the
current academic year. All first-time Tex-Share borrowers
must read and sign this agreement. Both the Gray Library
and the patron will retain a copy of the signed agreement.
RENEWALS:
Renewals will match those provided for Lamar
University patrons. Items eligible for renewal may be
so arranged over the telephone by dialing (409) 880-8133.
RETURNS:
All materials must be returned to the Gray Library by
the date due. These materials must be returned either
in person or by first-class, insured public or private
carrier.

OVERDUES:
Notices will be sent to all patrons with overdue charges.
Fines will be assessed to Tex-Share borrowers in accordance
with the existing Gray Library fine structure. The home
library of the borrower will be notified if fines are
not paid in full.
LOAN POLICY:
Refer to the Gray Library's regular borrowing policy
limits. Loan periods will match those provided for Lamar
University patrons.
LOST AND DAMAGED ITEMS:
Charges will be incurred by all Tex-Share borrowers
for lost or damaged materials in accordance with the
existing Gray Library policy. The borrower will be charged
the actual replacement price if the book is still in
print (or a default price of $40.00 if it is no longer
in print) plus a $20.00 processing fee. The home library
of the Tex-Share borrower will be notified if lost or
damaged materials are not paid in full.
