During the Texas Division Executive Council Meeting held Saturday, September 17, 2009, in Lorena, Texs, the council approved 2 new items to promote the image of the SCV in the Texas Division and assist in recruiting new members. The council approved a motion to pay a $8,000.00 deposit to the State of Texas for the manufacture and distribution of a Texas automobile liscense plate containing the SCV logo and the name Sons of Confederate Veterans. Of the $30.00 fee collected for these plates, $22.00 will be paid to the Texas Division. The deposit will be returned after 1,900 plates have been issued.

The council also approved a motion to pay $2,100.00 for the printing of 2 billboards promoting the SCV. Although the Texas Division does not have complete control of where these billboards will be placed they will be displayed in a high traffic area. These billboards are being displayed at no additional cost to the Texas Division for as long as they last (generally about 1 year).
