A Louisiana charter fishing boat company, Gulf of America Outfitters, came up with its business name two years before the Gulf of Mexico was renamed.

The Texas Legislature's House and Senate chambers are considering bills that reinforce President Donald Trump's federal directive to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America." This makes Texas another state,

One of the bills (HB 575) will change dozens of state laws to reflect the name change, while the other (HB 549) will require state agencies to update "geographic materials" to reflect the change.
