Trust In God
I enjoyed seeing everyone at the TAA Convention. We missed seeing some of you that have not missed in a while.
I talked to a customer who has some serious health issues. He told me to get in the pickup with him so we could look at some of his equipment. I didn’t have a mask on, and we couldn’t social distance. I told him I could follow him in my pickup. He said, “I know where I’m going when I die. I win either way. Get in and ride with me.” If you have read scripture, you know that in the end, we win. Christ is coming back for all of us who have accepted him as Christ and Savior.
Please continue to pray for all of those effected by the Chinese virus and that a vaccine will be developed.
A motion was passed at the 2019 Conference and Show at NAA that the business meeting be opened with prayer. At the 2020 Virtual Convention for NAA, the board declined to open meetings with prayer. I appreciate our TAA Board and Membership acknowledging God at our TAA Conventions.
I saw a sign in South Texas that stated, “Kneel for Almighty God and Stand for the Flag”.
Billy Loyd Sawyers, 65, died Saturday morning July 18th. Loyd was an Army veteran and auctioneer. He was a passionate follower of Christ and lived his life to the fullest. Loyd never met a stranger. And as Loyd would ask, “Has anyone told you Jesus loves you today?”
Long time TAA member Henry Storey went to be with the Lord. I was at the visitation. I visited with Pat and the family. Henry would close each of our FCAI meetings with prayer. He set a record attendance at TAA conventions. I know it was at least 50, maybe more. Henry was selected as a charter member of the Texas Auctioneer Hall of Fame and was a past president of the Texas Auctioneers Association which granted lifetime membership to he and Patsy. Henry was a member of Salt Creek Baptist Church where he served as a deacon for over 60 years.

3rd Qtr 2020 President Update: Jackie Lemons Shillingburg, CAI, AMM, PRI, TCAP
“We Did It!” We successfully conducted our 63rd Annual Texas Auctioneers Association Convention and State Champion Contest during a major pandemic. Our attendance numbers exceeded all expectations and the funds raised were generous and phenomenal.
I want to congratulate our 2020 Texas State Champion Auctioneers! Texas State Champion Cody Shelley, State Ringman Champion Levi Meier, Auction Team Champions Craig & Levi Meier, State Rookie Champion Austin Jet Jones, and Senior State Champion Joel Lemley. What an amazing group of ambassadors to represent the Texas Auctioneers Association in 2020-2021.
A HUGE Thank you to all of the Sponsors and Exhibitors that supported the TAA Convention and State Champion Contest this year. We could not have succeeded without you and we greatly appreciate your support.
I also want to congratulate the first inaugural graduating class of the Texas Certified Auction Professional (TCAP). TCAP is a 3-part course that was established by the TAA in 2018 to help the new or seasoned auctioneer strive for excellence in the auction profession. A hearty congratulations to Sheryl Bates, Charlie Bradshaw, Lori Lemons-Campbell, Doug Bradford, Natalie Dietz, Elizabeth Drake, David Drake, Scotty Gibbs, John Hebert, Daniel Lewis, Christina Pace, Jacquelyn Lemons Shillingburg, Stan Young, Lou Ann Young, and Dustin Wood.
Regardless of how unpredictable the year 2020 has presented itself, the TAA attendees were able to bring a little bit of normal back into their lives for a treasured moment through the Leadership of Past President Joel Lemley, Executive Director Krista Richter, and the Board of Directors.
As your new President, I feel confident that your elected board will work harder than ever to keep up with the ever-changing needs and demands of the auction industry. Over the next few months, we will be working on our future goals for the TAA and its membership. Some of these goals include: to boost membership, engage our members more, provide quality education, bylaw changes, as well as work closely with the legislative committee concerning the survival of our auction license in the State of Texas. TAA Lobbyist, Todd Kercheval, met with the members during the conference and answered questions concerning the future or our auction license. He mentioned that the movement in the House for now is in stale mate due to Covid-19. Stale mate is good due to non-activity, but we must be ready when regular activities move back into full swing. Todd highly recommended that we continue to raise funds for AUCPAC before November 3, 2020. Due to this need, I would like to challenge every member of the TAA to give what they can towards the AUCPAC as requested. If every member could give at least $50.00, personally, towards AUCPAC, it would raise $18,400.00. Please note that all donations need to be given through your personal accounts and not corporately. If you have questions concerning how to donate, please contact Krista Richter at .
Mark your calendars for next year as we prepare to get ready for our next conference in May 20-23, 2021 at the Kalahari Resort, Round Rock, TX. We will also be working on area meet ups in the future based on the Covid-19 pandemic updates.
I’d also like to welcome our newest Board members, Erica Black, PRI, Jedd Trice and Chad Hodges and Jarod Hamm moved up to the 2nd Vice President position.
Great things happen when we work together as an association. I believe that we need to focus our energy on adapting to change, rather than resisting it. I could not be prouder to be a part of the TAA and what we represent.
Thank you and God Bless the Texas Auctioneers Association!
Pray For Our Heroes
oronavirus has changed not only our nation, but also the world. Nursing homes and hospitals are on lockdown.
One of our employees and his wife spent a week at the hospital while having a baby. They had to be tested before they went to the hospital and again before they could leave. Praise God the mother and baby are doing fine.
We extend to our front-line workers our sincere appreciation. Doctors, nurses, and hospital personnel going in each day to help the sick. Law enforcement, Firemen, and first responders continuing to go out each day to assist those in their communities. Farmers and anchers working every day to feed our nation. There are so many others that reported to work each day to stock grocery stores, work at check out, drive trucks, and others who serve their communities.
Auctions have changed as well. Online auctions have become particularly important in order to keep large crowds from gathering. We had a very successful auction on 4-25-20.
On Good Friday and Easter Sunday, our Church had drive in Church. Our Pastor broadcast the service over an FM radio channel.
We have a praise report covering two survivors of the virus. Rose McConn of Louisiana (the wife of Louisiana Chaplain Jeff McConn) has recovered. One of our family members who lives in St Louis, MO survived and has recovered.
As we all deal with this virus, remember these passages:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10
We had another praise report. One of our customers from Mexico came to pick up a tractor. He drove the tractor on the semi-trailer while it was raining. The tractor slid off the semi-trailer and turned over. Everyone was safe and the tractor had few dents on it.
We praise God for Lori Lemons- Campbell having a safe trip to Israel. Pictured with Lori is her sister in law Tana Anderson and her mother in law, Patsy Campbell.
Congratulation to Vigil Warren who has been an Auctioneer for 56 years.
Congratulation to Doc Breen Auctioneers wear a lot of hats, and for Patrick Breen, BAS, CAS, philanthropist, and veterinarian are two of them. In November, Breen was awarded the 2019 Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International, Veterinarian of the Year award for his philanthropic work in the therapeutic horsemanship industry.
FCAI members can post their auctions with GoTo Auctions and have them on the FCAI website at no charge.
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Rene Bates, a true legendary Auctioneer.
He began his career by auctioneering livestock in the mid-60’s, and officially established Rene Bates Auctioneers in 1966. Rene Bates Auctioneers was an early adopter of internet sales, and in 1997 became the country’s first municipal online auction company. Rene was involved in TAA activities and was in the Texas Auctioneers Hall of Fame. Survivors include wife Sheryl Bates of McKinney, Texas; daughter Michelle Renee Bates and Donovan Arwood of Dallas, Texas.

2nd Qtr 2020 President Update: Joel Lemley, CES, CAGA
What a weird world we now live in. Maybe the word weird is not appropriate, but with all of the changes we have made in our daily lives and sacrifices we have made, it seems to me a pretty appropriate description. Practicing safety for our families is our responsibility, so putting safety first in our businesses is also a critical responsibility we make for our association. By now you have heard that we re-scheduled our 2020 TAA Convention to August 13-16 in San Marcos, TX at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention Center. Making this decision was made difficult not knowing what our safety protocols were and when we could once again make our plans. At this time the re-scheduled convention is now ready for your registrations and your reservations. I want to take this opportunity to thank your Board of Directors for working hard this past year putting the convention together and then being asked to re-schedule and make the changes to re-fit the new time frame. We also put together a Convention task force to assist in making the convention fit into its new schedule. This task force along with the TAA staff and the board put a lot of work into making this happen in a very short period of time. I hope everyone makes their plans to attend and support the convention this summer. Your support to the TAA is so important to the task of representing our industry throughout Texas and the United States.
I also want to take this time to thank our Legislative Task Force in working for you during this period of Sunset Commission evaluations. The Task Force has submitted to the Commission our goals for professional representation via our license and requirements from TDLR.
We should be seeing the results of the Commissions decisions, hopefully, very soon. Thank you to Jim Swigert for heading up this group and keeping everyone informed and updated.
Lastly, I want to thank Krista Richter and her staff for all the hard work they put in on behalf of your association. Their dedicated work and direction have been such a value to me, the Board of Directors and the TAA. When you see these folks at convention please take the time to personally thank them for the job they do for all of us.
Have fun this summer. Please stay safe, and I look forward to seeing everyone in San Marcos in August.
Support Our Veterans
I was pleased to see recognition at the Super Bowl for our veterans. Several that were 100 years old were recognized. Many of the airlines are recognizing our veterans by allowing them to be the first to board the plane. Our nation can be proud of our veterans. They have served wherever needed to protect our freedoms. They have deployed and left their friends and families.
After their sacrifice, many have problems when they return. I want to ask each of you to say a special prayer today for our veterans. Pray that the ones with mental issues will receive help. Pray that they will not be forgotten. Pray that God will guide them and protect them, especially those with PTSD.
When I was in Washington D.C. for the Values Voters Summit in 2018, a film titled “Indivisible” was shown. The film was about a deployed chaplain who also had problems when he returned.
It showed soldiers who were being deployed getting on the bus as their loved ones waved to them. It brought back memories of Travis being deployed.
This film will help veterans dealing with PTSD & other issues. One of my friends who is a Vietnam Vet, told me he still has problems. He is working with other vets so they can discuss the issues they are having problems with.
In John 15 vs 13, Jesus states: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Jesus gave His life for our salvation. Our veterans served knowing that they were willing to give their life for our nation.
Pictured is our State Senator, Brian Birdwell. Senator Birdwell was in the Pentagon on 911 when the plane hit. After many surgeries, he is able to serve our state. You can read his and his wife Mel’s book, “Refined by Fire”.
If you know of a deployed soldier, send us their address. FCAI sends packages to deployed soldiers.
I attended the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association (NTPDA) Convention in Arizona last month. One of the speakers had worked with the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) on the WayFair Case. In his presentation, he stated that sales less than $200,000 per year, or less than 100 transactions would be exempt from sales tax in most states. This deals with selling items that are located in another state. If you do not belong to NAA, I would encourage you to join. The NAA is involved in protecting auctioneers’ rights at the national level.
The NTPDA also raised funds for St. Judes. I assisted with the auction.

1st Qtr 2020 President Update: Joel Lemley, CES, CAGA
I want to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2020 will be designated as the year of the “Professional”. Every aspect of what we do as auctioneers, ring men and women, clerks, and management specialists should always have that in the back of their mind and on the front of their business card. With the TAA Convention coming up in May, the focus of our education, marketing, and actions will have “Professional” put at the forefront.
Now, just saying the word does not make you a professional. How do you know yourself to be a professional? What makes you a professional? Where do you become a Professional? These questions have answers that are sometimes lost in its meaning. Being a professional in any occupation has three main components: competency, skillfulness, and assurance (CSA). These components (CSA) are not handed to you at auction school, even though it is the best bet to the path of a professional. You don’t receive them (CSA) if you qualify for a license, even though you are required to have them. You especially don’t receive them (CSA) if you participate or win a contest, yet it takes tremendous talent to compete. These valued components are earned with experience, education, practice, determination, and representation.
We recently received from an Auction Company questions concerning legal, policy, and protocol procedures concerning auctions within the State of Texas. This Auctioneer was not a member of the TAA yet was asking us for guidance. We, as professionals did answer those questions. But, one wonders, what if the TAA or NAA did not exist? The value of membership continues to rise when membership offers you, in return, those valued opportunities to become competent, skillful, and assured. Membership adds VALUE!
As I mentioned, May 14-17 will be our Annual Convention this year held in San Marcos, TX at the Embassy Suites Hotel. This is going to be a great time as well as an important tool for “Professional” Texas Auctioneers. Your attendance will put you in with other professionals coming to learn, share, and have fun. This year we want to really focus on the Fun Auction that will be held in conjunction with the President’s Welcome Party. The Fun Auction serves as an opportunity to showcase your skills or just plain ole show off, selling neat, one of a kind items with proceeds benefitting the TAA.
This year’s President’s Welcome Party is a Cowboy Luau. That’s right, a real Hawaiian Luau with a touch of Texas thrown in. Hawaiian shirt contest, hula skirts, pineapples, coconuts and cowboy boots. Get Ready! We will also be offering TCAP this year adding the third and final class that will be receiving the designation as a Texas Certified Auction Professional. TCAP 1, and TCAP 2 will also be available. These and the required continuing education classes will add, once again, those components to assist in becoming a “Professional”.
If you have children or grandchildren interested in applying for the TAA Scholastic Scholarship, offering assistance for upper education, please have those applications in by April 1, 2020, for review and selection. Once again the Jim Sample Endowment Scholarship will also be available for people interested in attending the American Auction Academy. This is a generous gesture given by Board Member and Past State Champion, Trey Galloway giving someone the opportunity to attend auction school. The applications are available online at www.texasauctioneers.org and are due by April 1, 2020.
2019 was a great year for the Texas Auctioneers Association once again, and 2020 is looking great adding tremendous value to be a member of this association. Make sure your dues are current and get your registrations in for convention. Hope to see everyone in San Marcos!
Giving Thanks
WE SERVE A MIGHTY GOD and should praise him on a daily basis.
Each year at Thanksgiving, we remember all of our blessings.
Thanksgiving comes at a time of the year when most farmers have completed the harvest of their crops.
We had a late cotton crop this year & were able to get it harvested before Thanksgiving.
In Psalm 106 vs 1, scripture says “Praise the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever.”
We have so much to be thankful for. We can be thankful that God blessed our nation with independence from England. We are a Christian nation & our founding fathers used scripture & references to God in our Constitution. We can be thankful for salvation. Jesus died that we all might have eternal life. All of us who have accepted Christ as Savior will be at the great reunion.
We can be thankful for our veterans who served so that we will remain the greatest nation on the earth.
Remember to pack a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child. I attended the Values Voters Summit in Washington D.C. in October. I visited with Edward Graham, son of Reverend Franklin Graham, and is a former Army Major who is serving with leadership at Samaritan’s Purse. Samaritan’s Purse is opening a distribution center at Coppell TX & will also handle Operation Christmas Child. I also visited with Randy Riddle, who is in charge of Operation Christmas Child. State Representative Cody Harris recently did a fundraising auction for local and state candidates. We have an auctioneer in our state legislature.
