About LoneStarBlogger

Welcome to LoneStarBlogger — an independent Texas news blog built to keep Texans informed, engaged, and empowered. We combine fast, verified breaking coverage with deep reporting and community perspective to tell the stories that matter across our state and beyond. Whether you’re watching the Capitol, following energy and business trends, or looking for the cultural pulse of Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and smaller towns, we’re here to bring clear, trustworthy journalism to your screen.

Why we exist

We started LoneStarBlogger because Texans deserve a news source that is both local in spirit and rigorous in practice. Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, timely and context-rich reporting that holds power accountable and amplifies voices across communities. We believe independent journalism strengthens democracy, helps neighbors make informed decisions, and connects the many regions of our state with clarity and care.

Our values

  • Accuracy: We verify facts before publishing and correct errors transparently.
  • Independence: Editorial decisions are driven by journalistic judgment, not commercial or political pressure.
  • Community: We prioritize stories that reflect the needs and perspectives of Texans from every background.
  • Clarity: We explain why news matters — not just what happened, but what it means.
