AND THE
CITY OF LUBBOCK
FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE TEXAS MUSIC INDUSTRY DIRECTORY
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") for ongoing maintenance of the Lubbock dataset of the
Texas Music Directory is entered into by and between the Texas Music Office within the Office of the
Governor ("OOG") and City of Lubbock ("City"). The OOG and City shall be referred to collectively as
the "Parties."
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the MOU is to document the responsibilities of the Parties for export and maintenance
of the Lubbock dataset within the Texas Music Industry Directory (the "Directory"). The Directory consists
of listings of recording studios, music venues, booking agents, producers, musicians, and other music
businesses and is published on the State-owned and managed website, TexasMusicOffce.com. The
Directory will be matched and updated from the correlating City -owned dataset of Lubbock area music
businesses with the (806) area code.
This MOU encourages mutual cooperation of the Parties to maintain the accuracy of the information
within the Lubbock dataset to help the OOG meet its legislative mandate of promoting the development of
the music industry in Texas by informing members of that industry and the public about the resources
available in the state for music production. Additional information on the websites, dataset format, and the
primary contacts assigned to maintain those datasets are described in this MOU. In addition, this MOU
permits the City to use information exported from the Directory to create and maintain a Lubbock Music
Industry dataset to promote the development of the Lubbock music industry.
The Parties, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements to be performed as set forth in
this MOU, agree as follows:
II. TERM
Upon execution by the Parties, this MOU shall commence effective upon the signature of the last Party
to sign this MOU, and shall remain in effect for a period of one year, unless extended by option of the
Parties or terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this MOU. This MOU may be extended by agreement
of the Parties in any increment of months, for up to thirty-six (36) months.
III. SCOPE
The Lubbock dataset will be exchanged between the Parties twice a year. Both Parties shall have the
ability to receive updated dataset information from the other Party. Maintenance includes the exporting,
updating and monitoring of the Lubbock dataset of the Directory. The Parties will cooperate in good faith
at all times to comply with all applicable laws. The Parties shall cooperate when developing priorities and
performing maintenance activities with respect to the Lubbock dataset, and will share information to create
a more accurate Texas Music Industry Directory for the mutual benefit of both Parties.

perform the tasks required to ensure proper maintenance of the Lubbock dataset of the Directory.
