Texas State University has had another name change. Maybe you didn't notice. Max Anderson has the story. 

For the past several years, the official name of this institution has been Texas State University - San Marcos. But starting this month, the name is simply Texas State University. The two words, San Marcos, have been dropped from the title to clear up confusion because the university has a branch campus in Round Rock.

This is the seventh name change since the university opened in 1899. About 10 years ago the state legislature dropped the double-directional Southwest from the university's name, making it Texas State University-San Marcos. Other universities within the system had the option of using Texas State University in their names well -- followed by their home city -- but the other schools decided against changing their identities. University officials say the transition may take several months to complete. Until then, you're apt to see the old title for a while. For Bobcat Update, I'm Max Anderson.
