Your song & delivery
* Required for a complete release. “If applicable” means include it when it exists for your song or team. “Optional” means you may leave it blank. Incomplete work can still be saved as a draft; that does not make it ready to deliver.
Before you beginHave your final WAV or AIFF, cover art, songwriters’ names, publishing details, and ISRC ready. CD TEX reviews country-format suitability, production quality, explicit content, and its no-AI music policy* before approval.
Songwriters, publishers & producers
Credits tell radio who wrote, published and produced the song. Use the names listed when the song was registered. “Affiliation” means which PRO, such as BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, Global Music Rights (GMR), AllTrack or Pro Music Rights, the writer or publisher belongs to.
PRO — Performing Rights Organization
A PRO (Performing Rights Organization), such as BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, Global Music Rights (GMR), AllTrack or Pro Music Rights, collects certain payments when songs are played publicly and pays its songwriter and publisher members. “Affiliation” means which organization that person or company belongs to.
The organization’s name belongs in the PRO field. The publisher’s name goes in the publisher field.
Membership information and help →What if I don’t know my publisher?
A music publisher helps manage the rights and income from the song’s words and music. It may be a company or a songwriter’s own publishing business. It is not automatically your record label or recording studio. Ask the songwriter (or co-writers), publisher or the person who registered the song with a PRO. If no publisher applies, leave these boxes blank. If you are unsure, choose a help topic below and explain what you know. Please do not guess.
Songwriters
Enter all applicable writers, using the four spaces below. The first writer and their PRO are required. Every additional writer on the song must also be listed; unused slots may stay blank.
Publishers
List the publishers that apply to this song and their PRO affiliations. If you are unsure, use the help section below.
Please check your credits carefully. If corrections involve an additional charge, CD TEX will confirm it before you proceed.
New to PROs, publishing or ISRCs?If you’re a performer but not a songwriter, list the song’s actual writers and their affiliations. You don’t need to invent a PRO for yourself.
Open the artist help guide ↗Choosing a help topic adds a note for the CD TEX team when you submit the completed form. It does not send a separate message, and saving a draft does not notify us. If missing required credits or an ISRC prevents you from submitting, save your draft and contact CD TEX for help. Do not guess your credits or ISRC.

Your connection to the Texas music scene
New to CD TEX? Tell us where your music is already part of the Texas scene. This could be your Texas roots and music activity, shows you play here, radio play, or people working with your music here. You do not have to live in Texas.
A few sentences are enough. Include names or places that help us understand your involvement. Wanting to reach Texas listeners by itself is not an established connection.
For example, tour dates, a venue page, radio coverage or your promoter's website. These details stay with the CD TEX team and will not appear in your release email or social post.

Finish your submission
Check your information before submitting. You can still save your draft and finish later.
Automatic checks catch missing answers, format problems, audio specifications, image sizes and mismatched song time. They cannot prove ownership, correct credits, PRO membership, assigned ISRCs, working inboxes or that a link belongs to you. Please review these yourself; CD TEX will also review the submission.
Save and finish later keeps your answers and selected files on this device (up to 100 MB per file). Return in this same browser. Keep your originals; saving a draft does not submit it to CD TEX.
