Local News

Except for the Huntsville Item, Texas newspapers generally rely on the Associated Press for their statewide execution coverage. However, when the story has a local interest (e.g. because the crime was committed there), local newspapers often do their own reporting. A partial list of newspapers is provided below. If you know which county the offense ocurred in, you can use your browser's "Find" feature to find a newspaper that covers that area.
