Texas registrations expire after 5 years unless the registrant submits a renewal to our office during the last 6 months of the 5-year registration period. A mark must still be in use at the time of the renewal. See Form 902. Owners of registered marks are responsible for enforcing their rights to their marks.
Trademark applications can be filed online with the USPTO. The application must provide a description of the goods or services for which the trademark will be used and a specimen showing how the mark is used in commerce.
Likelihood of confusion is a common reason for refusal of a trademark application. The USPTO will review your application and compare your mark to any existing trademark applications or registered trademarks.
Please note: Some counties offer online brand registration. Contact your County Clerk for more information. To find your county clerk's information, go to .sos.state.tx/elections/voter/cclerks.shtml.

The cheapest way to get a trademark is to file a state trademark application, which is typically less expensive than a federal trademark application.
The time it takes to register a trademark varies. Typically, however, the process takes 12 to 18 months. Once the application is submitted, it takes roughly 4 to 6 months alone to review it.
