Texas has Chapters, and those Chapters take on schools. Schools have the choice of which Chapters they will use and at what levels (and in some instances Chapters have the choice too). Some schools will use one Chapter for their JH and Sub-Varsity games, then use another Chapter for their Varsity games. Most schools use one chapter for all levels in which they compete. As for little dribblers and rec leagues, usually that is left up to whoever runs the league in that area; however, our Chapter (in the past 2 years) has begun contracting with several Little Dribblers and Recreational Leagues to assign their games as well. Each Chapter has an assignor, and that person is responsible for handing out games. Officials can be members of more than one Chapter if they want to be. We have about 10% of our Chapter that has dual membership.
Each Chapter member must pay State Dues and Chapter Dues to be "in good standing" and receive games. Most Chapters also charge game fees for the assignment. Usually around $0.50-1.00 (LD & RL), $1.00 for JH and Sub-Varsity, and $2.00 for Varsity. In tournaments the fees go up a little.
Hope that helps.
