and then moved to TX.

It's just like if the company "Omaha Steaks", which was founded and is still headquartered in Omaha, NE, decided to pick up and move to TX (but keep their brand name the same).

Hell, I am from and am still living in Philadelphia and laugh every time I pick up a box (or tub) of "Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese". It was neither founded nor made here in Philly, let alone in PA (it was a NY thing). But supposedly the name was more a nod to all the dairy farms we have right outside the city.
