Licensing Information for Students & Departments


Student organizations or departments at Texas State University desiring to sell or distribute t-shirts or other products on campus must obtain approval by completing the form below.

Additional approvals may be required as outlined below. Designs and messages on all products must be in good taste; student organizations may not sell or distribute any product that would embarrass the University. Permission to sell products may be given to student organizations and departments that adhere to the following policy and complete the request form.

Licensing approval for the use of registered Texas State University marks on any product for sale or distribution by student organizations will be subject to the following restrictions and requirements:

1. Approval must be obtained through the Licensing Office prior to the production of any product using registered Texas State University marks.

2. Distribution of the product is generally restricted to selling/giving to members of the department/organization for a particular function. Based on the event and the campus-wide impact, exceptions can be made for the sponsors of events such as Homecoming, and Parents Weekend.

3. Use of Texas State University marks on the products must be confined to the standard registered marks. Such marks can be incorporated into a custom design on the product with appropriate approval from the Office of Collegiate Licensing.

4. No reference can be made, either directly or indirectly, to any individual athlete, athletic squad, athletic team, or athletic event that the University participates in as a competitive representative of the Sun Belt Conference under NCAA rules and regulations.

5. Compliance with Texas State University Guidelines for Product/Art Approval will apply to all student organizations and departments.

6. A current, licensed vendor must be used to produce the item. Licensed vendors are approved by the Licensing office to produce items featuring registered marks of Texas State University. Using unlicensed vendors is not permitted. Licensed vendors exist for almost every item produced. (See List of Licensed Vendors) In select cases a waiver may be granted to allow an unlicensed vendor to produce a specialty item. Granting of this waiver is at the discretion of the licensing office.

7. Once the design and form is approved you will be allowed to proceed to production of the item.

8. Violators of the established policy may be subject to further action.
We are pleased to consider your request to use the logos and trademarks of Texas State University.  As a university department, office or student organization you are permitted to use the university marks to represent your project, program or event as long as its affiliation is part of official university business and supports the mission of the university.

Please send the design, item description, purpose of the item, who it is for and the preferred licensed vendor you plan to use to the contact below.
