About Texas Bay News
Texas Bay News is an independent, reader-supported newsroom covering the people, policies, and power structures shaping the Lone Star State.
Our mission is simple: deliver rigorous, factual, and transparent reporting across Texas’s Gulf Coast and statewide institutions—without corporate influence, political filters, or manufactured narratives.
We focus on the stories that matter most to Texans:
- State and local government
- Courts, justice, and accountability
- Law enforcement oversight
- Family court and child-welfare systems
- Major policy debates in Austin
- Elections, campaigns, and political movements
- Public records, transparency battles, and investigative reporting
From coastal cities to rural counties to the Capitol, Texas Bay News brings depth, context, and evidence-driven journalism to issues that too often go unreported—or intentionally ignored.
We are part of the Bay News Network, an emerging regional news system that includes MDBayNews, VABayNews, CABayNews, and other state-focused sites built around the same mission: honest reporting, open records, watchdog journalism, and community-driven accountability.
No paywalls. No corporate donors. No political owners.
Just real Texas journalism.
If you have a story, document, lead, concern, or public-records tip, you can reach the newsroom securely through our Press & Tips page.
