Description
The Mexia Police Department serves a railroad-era town in Limestone County, Central Texas, founded in 1871 when the Houston and Texas Central line came through — a date this badge wears on its bottom panel. The build is a two-tone oval that gives its gold to a textured Texas map and its silver to everything framing it.
Shape and Base: The badge is a silver oval wrapped in a laurel wreath border, with a fine pinstripe-ray field filling the ground. A gold ribbon with flared tails arcs the crown, carrying POLICE OFFICER in black block letters.
Center Design: A gold map of Texas anchors the center, its surface worked in a hammered texture that catches light differently from the smooth rays behind it. Set into the map is a black enamel seal ring lettered THE STATE OF TEXAS in gold around a silver lone star, with a small cross accent finishing the composition below.
Banner Lettering: The base stacks three gold elements in black lettering — CITY OF MEXIA on the broad upper banner, POLICE beneath it, and a bottom panel carrying 1871, the founding year worn as a point of civic pride.
Tonal Detail: Silver holds the oval, wreath, and rays while gold takes the crown ribbon, map, and banner stack, and the black seal ring supplies the single dark accent at dead center. The hammered map against machined rays gives the badge texture you can read across a room.
Finish Quality: Each badge is die-struck in solid metal, plated in two-tone silver and gold, enamel-filled at the seal, and fitted with a pin-back and safety clasp. For the county counterpart from the same Limestone County rolls, see the Limestone County Constable badge.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Badges 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 badges 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we put our founding year on the bottom panel like the 1871 on this Mexia design?
Yes. The base panel takes any short inscription your city carries with pride — a founding or incorporation year, a motto abbreviation, or an officer badge number if you prefer personalization over heritage. Whichever direction you choose, the panel is confirmed on a free proof before tooling begins.
Can you reproduce the hammered texture on the Texas map?
Yes. The hammered surface is cut into the die itself, so the texture strikes identically on every badge and contrasts with the smooth pinstripe rays behind it. The same treatment can apply to your own state map or a center emblem, or the map can strike smooth if you prefer a polished face.
How much does a two-tone badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The hammered map work and the black seal enamel are included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.
What is the production timeline?
Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, the black enamel seal fill, and hand-finishing of the wreath border and hammered map surface.
Can the banners be re-lettered for our city and ranks?
Yes. CITY OF MEXIA re-letters to your own municipality, POLICE OFFICER on the crown ribbon accepts any rank or title, and the whole set strikes from one die so patrol and command badges stay uniform across the department.
Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?
Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
