INSTRUCTIONS

Registrations issued under Chapter 16, Texas Business & Commerce Code remain

in force for ten (10) years and may be renewed for additional ten (10) year periods

by filing this application for renewal within SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE the day the

registration expires.

Only the applicant of record with the secretary of state may file a renewal. If

ownership of the mark has been assigned or transferred, or the name of the

registrant has changed, the assignment, transfer of ownership, or change of name

must be filed concurrently with the renewal application. If the mark has been

assigned, form 903 may be used to record the assignment. Form 904 may be used to

record a transfer in ownership or change of name of the registrant.

If either the mark or the classification of the goods or services has substantially

changed from the previous registration, a new registration for the altered mark or

new classification must be made.

To complete items 3 and 4 of the application, the description of the mark and

registration number can be obtained from the original Certificate of Registration.

If the applicant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other

type of legal entity, state the title of the officer, manager, or partner below the

signature. Prior to signing, please review carefully the statements set forth in the

application. A person commits an offense under Section 16.31, Business &

Commerce Code, if the person signs a document that is forged or that the person

to the secretary of state for filing. The offense is a Class A misdemeanor. In

addition, an application or registration procured by fraud is subject to cancellation

pursuant to Sections 16.16 and 16.28, Business & Commerce Code.

If the application is incomplete or defective, the renewal will be refused. The

application may be completed or amended in response to a refusal. A response to an

adverse action of the examiner must be received prior to the expiration of the period
