Re: Proprietary Purchase for a Trademark License and Promotional Support Agreement with

Pro Silver Star Ltd. (Dallas Cowboys)

Pursuant to Executive Director Order No. 23-0009, this is a memo to file for the proprietary purchase of a Trademark License and Promotional Support Agreement with Pro Silver Star Ltd. a

Texas limited partnership that owns and/or has the rights to license the trademarks of the Dallas

Cowboys Football Club, Ltd. for advertising and promotional support (including prize fulfillment and the rights to place Texas Lottery advertisements in AT&T Stadium), to market and promote

Texas Lottery games, including a Dallas Cowboys scratch-off game(s).

The Texas Lottery has contracted successfully with Pro Silver Star Ltd. since 2009 who has proven to be a reliable and consistent partner. Licensed property scratch ticket games help serve a niche by capitalizing on well-known, branded concepts. These games provide an opportunity for members of the public who might not typically purchase a lottery ticket to do so, because of their familiarity with the branded property.

The agency believes that the strength of the Dallas Cowboys brand combined with the popularity of the unique experiential second chance-drawing prizes should create a successful game that will contribute positively to lottery sales and revenue generation for the Foundation School Fund.

I am approving this request for a proprietary purchase.

Ryan Mindell

Deputy Executive Director
