Matt Loeffler, the head ref, lives in Dallas and owns his own window company. While he went to TCU, he obviously does live and try to sell goods in Texas. Among the memorabilia on his wall is a Texas helmet, presumably because he reffed a big game involving them.

Matt was just too close. There is an appearance of the potential to be influenced.
