Description
This Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office patch recreates the office’s shoulder emblem for the county whose seat is Bay City. Founded in 1836 along the Gulf of Mexico, the county takes its name from the canebrakes that once lined its shore, as Matagorda is Spanish for thick bush. A large gold star with the letters of TEXAS around it fills this dark brown teardrop shield.
Shape and Border: The patch is a teardrop-shaped shield, wide and rounded across the top and narrowing to a point at the base, finished with a gold merrowed border.
Center Design: A large solid gold five-point star fills the center, with the letters T, E, X, A, and S set between its points, each turned to follow the curve around the star.
Lettering: MATAGORDA arches across the top in gold block letters, with COUNTY arched beneath it, and SHERIFF’S OFFICE sits on two lines in gold at the base.
Color and Thread: The design uses only gold thread on a dark brown field, a simple two-color combination with a warm, classic look.
Finish Quality: Each patch is embroidered with full-coverage stitching on polyester twill, finished with a merrowed edge, and offered with iron-on or sew-on backing. For a department in the same county, see the Bay City Police badge.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
