Update: Don't Mess With Texas?
I just spoke with Joanne Wright at the Texas department of transportation and was informed that the state is currently working on putting together a licensing agreement for their trademark. Sounds good to me, as I said before I have no problem directing a portion of the proceeds to anti-litter activities. The funny thing is that there is no licensing program in place now. So I asked about how other major retailers are able to use the mark. I was told that they're only going after retailers who are brought to their attention and that if I knew of any that I should let them know. I normally don't want to rat anyone out, but if a competitor can carry a product that takes customers away from me, then perhaps I should. This is something I'll need to contemplate. But for now I was told to send a letter requesting a license to sell products with their mark. So I'm sure this will be a long process. Here's to hoping that they don't try and charge $10 a t-shirt...
