Item 5.02  
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 20, 2008, Morris D. Mitchell resigned as President of the Men’s Division of Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (the “Company”) to be closer to his family. Mr. Mitchell’s resignation is effective as of the close of business on September 5, 2008. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Item 8.01  
Other Events.

On February 14, 2008, the Company announced that it was making changes to its management structure to both improve accountability and to begin the process of eventual succession for the Chief Executive Officer role. To that end, the Company noted that it planned to initiate a search for the position of President and Chief Operating Officer. However, during this search process, the Board of Directors has determined to focus the search on a candidate for Chief Executive Officer instead. The Company has engaged a prominent executive search firm to identify candidates and believes it has made substantial progress in the process to identify and engage potential successor Chief Executive Officer candidates.
