DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2014) - Republic of Texas Brands, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RTXBQ) has just received their initial order of CHILLO Energy Drink through its soon to be acquired subsidiary Chill Texas, securing the company as the Master Distributor for the State of Texas. CHILLO product that has been ordered on the Cannabis-Holdings.com site is now being processed and will be heading to destinations in the United States and should be arriving in several days. Pictures have been posted of some of the product and can be found on the http://www.Cannabis-Holdings.com website. The Bulk Commercial orders of CHILLO will begin to ship early next week to numerous commercial locations and the product will likely begin hitting select Texas retailers' shelves in the coming weeks.

"This is an exciting day for the RTXBQ's soon to be subsidiary Chill Texas as we are now shipping product and generating revenues for the company. The newspaper article last week in the Dallas Observer generated interest and orders from several Texas retailers who were very eager to get the product on their retail shelves," states COO Randy Safford. "We expect a complete sell through of the first order of CHILLO and we are already making arrangements for the shipment of the second bulk order. Generating revenues will be looked upon very favorably by the judge as we are going to present our plan to the bankruptcy court and we hope to exit from our voluntary Chapter 11 status in the shortest period of time. We have also filed a $4 million dollar lawsuit against Empire Capital llc, Scott Forsythe and Matthew Nicoletti for damages."
