Funds cannot be earmarked for specific fees or services. Existing funds will be credited to your account. Money submitted to the ABGA office will go toward any outstanding balances. The entire outstanding balance must be paid before the work can be processed. (EX: You submit a check with the work to be completed in-office. If you submit work through Online Live before the work is completed, your funds will count toward the first submitted work instead of the most recently-submitted work.)

You can submit registrations work and other forms to our office via regular mail at 4258 S Jackson St, San Angelo, Texas 96903.

The ABGA office has received several calls about submitting registration work through our new software system. This new system, iCompete, will eventually replace Online Live and the Blue Screen systems. iCompete will be equipped to handle ABGA memberships, renewals, registry work, and show points in a single platform. At this time, some ABGA members can only view owned animals within their iCompete dashboard (not all members are able to view animals). ABGA staff are working with software developers to fix ongoing issues with iCompete and prepare for Phase 2 (registrations). We will announce when ABGA members can complete registrations, transfers, service memos, and other work through iCompete. We encourage members to renew now using iCompete to improve and simplify their member experience going forward. Haven't renewed yet? Learn how to renew through iCompete here:

The ABGA Office will be closed starting noon (12 pm CST) on Wednesday (11/23) and remain closed through Friday (11/25). We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be back to regular office hours on Monday (11/28).
