businesses and is published on the State-owned and managed website, TexasMusicOffice.com. The
Directory will be matched and updated from the correlating City-owned dataset of Denton-area music
businesses with the (940) area code.
This MOU encourages mutual cooperation of the Parties to maintain the accuracy of the information
within the Denton 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 Denton Music
Industry dataset to promote the development of the Denton music industry.
