BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas \u2014 Officials with The Texas A&M University System have formally objected to the unauthorized use of the Texas A&M University name and trademarks by a Muslim education entity in North Texas that is branding itself as \u201cTexAM University.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Texas A&M University System has issued a cease-and-desist letter demanding that the entity immediately stop using names, marks, domains and branding elements that infringe upon or dilute Texas A&M\u2019s trademarks.<\/p>\n

Use of \u201cTexAM,\u201d \u201cTexas AM University,\u201d and similar variations creates confusion and misleads the public. The entity is not affiliated with or endorsed by Texas A&M University or The Texas A&M University System.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Texas A&M University System has a responsibility to protect the name and trademarks, which represent more than a century of academic excellence, public trust and institutional integrity,\u201d said Chancellor Glenn Hegar of The Texas A&M University System. \u201cWhen another organization uses branding that is similar, particularly in the same educational space, we must act to prevent confusion and protect the value of those marks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entity, formally known as the Texas American Muslim Institute of Technology at Dallas, is not recognized as a university by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.<\/p>\n

A&M System officials are prepared to pursue all necessary legal remedies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas A&M University System Issues Cease and Desist Letter to Unauthorized Entity May. 8, 2026 \u2022 2 min.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-284852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
