maj. You've got an extra <'e'> in there - the one after <pong> doesn't make
much sense. Also, type seven suffixes like <-taH> are not allowed to go on a
verb after <'e'>.
ghom pong vImugh 'e' vInID.

Do'Ha'.

This is a sentence without a verb. Basically, it just says "Our group in
Texas.". You want <teqSISDaq 'oHtaH ghommaj'e'>.
> ' Hov mobbogh ' 'oH *teqSIS* Sep pong.
If you're going to use a <-bogh> clause, it should be <mobbogh Hov>, since
the subject goes *after* the verb. However, <mob> means "be alone", so it
can act like an adjective and go right after the verb: <Hov mob>.

<Hov mob> instead of <Hov mobbogh> from above . . .
The locative suffix <-Daq> doesn't make much sense in noun phrases like
this, and even if it did, I don't think it's what you want. You're the
Warriors Association *of* Texas, not *in* Texas.
Finally, the plural suffix <-pu'> is not necessary here (plurals almost
never are), and I would leave it off.
