Freemasonry is not organized like that. Generally, the masonic lodges in one country or part of a country are grouped together into Grand Lodges. So, there is a Grand Lodge of Victoria, in Australia, and a Grand Lodge of North Carolina, in the United States, and a Grand Lodge of Portugal, and a Grand Lodge of India, and so on. The leader of each Grand Lodge is called the Grand Master. Usually, the Grand Master is elected for a one or two year term. In some cases, they can serve much longer terms: the Grand Master of the Grand Orient (means the same as Grand Lodge) of Italy has a fifteen year term and the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England, the Duke of Kent, has a lifetime appointment. In some cases, there is more than one Grand Lodge in the same area. Sometimes they coexist, but more often they are in competition with one another, and other Grand Lodges have to decide which is legitimate.

Who is the only Texas grand lodge officers?
There are three regular Masonic Grand Lodges in Texas. The Grand Lodge of Texas AF&AM and the Texas Prince Hall Grand Lodge. This is the result of hundreds of years of segregation between black and white Masons. In 2005, both grand lodges signed a pact agreeing to recognize each other as regular freemasonry. This is a first step toward full communication between the two grand lodges. These steps are slow and difficult because over the years both have developed independently of each other and in some cases have significant differences in their organization, rules, regulations, bylaws and ritual. Currently, only the Grand Lodge of Texas AF&AM is recognized by the mother lodge, the United Grand Lodge of England. Both grand lodges are working toward full recognition of both. and there is the Regular Grand Lodge of Texas F&AM who is recognized by the Regular Grand Lodge of England (2005) and has treaties with over 41 countries.The Regular Grand Lodge of Texas boast of its ability to attract and allow all races to become members.
