The article mentions it is an iconic West Texas brand, so I guess we would have to ask someone who is from there.

Apparently, it actually ceased production relatively recently, and they acquired back the rights to it, probably making it an exclusive store brand in the process.

Didn't they do this with some tortillas or tortilla chips a while back?

From what I could tell, they had added a tortilla line to their manufacturing capabilities in 2013.
