Please do. A little more research online came up with the rumor that
SkyBox never got Paramount's permission to use the language during the
show's seventh season, which may explain the possible lack of tlhIngan Hol
text -- only decorative pIqaD. (As to why SkyBox might have lost
Paramount's permission to use Hol, I can't imagine since Paramount
apparently had no problem with it for the six previous years.)

Russ informs me that he believes there is a little text, but only in
pIqaD. (He's going to check his cards.) Probably only decorative, just
like Paramount does on the episodes.
