When Texaco merged with Chevron in 2001, Chevron Products Co. temporarily gave up rights to the Texaco retail brand as an antitrust stipulation, and gas was sold in the U.S. under the Texaco retail name by a competitor. In July 2004, Chevron regained non-exclusive rights to the Texaco retail brand and started selling gas under the Texaco name in the Southern and Eastern United States: Alabama, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. In July 2005, Chevron started selling gas under the Texaco retail name in a broader area, including many states in the Western United States. Chevron regains exclusive rights to the Texaco retail brand in July 2006.
