Uses the Roadgeek 2005 fonts. (United States law does not permit the copyrighting of typeface designs, and the fonts are meant to be copies of a U.S. Government-produced work anyway.)

This particular shield has been left editable as a template for others to make 2012 spec Texas State Highway business shields.
