Texas A&M University junior Courtney Eoff, a marketing major from Rockdale, earned the top spot for “Best Original Song” in the 2020 jingle contest for the “Don’t Mess With Texas” anti-littering campaign.
Her 30-second song was chosen from more than 130 entries. She joins musicians including fellow Aggie Lyle Lovett in promoting the campaign, launched by the Texas Department of Transportation in 1985.
Eoff said she comes from a musical family and “was humming before I could even talk.” She grew up listening to country and western icons like Willie Nelson, George Strait and LeAnn Rimes, whose jingles also have been used in the campaign over the years.
