3/ In the nearly 10 years since we launched our newsroom, our state has been through a lot. We’ve welcomed more new Texans than ever before, weathered a superstorm & witnessed five mass shootings — and considered all the policy questions that have followed trib.it/fmd19

4/ Whatever stories come next, we'll be here to ensure you have the information you need to make informed civic decisions. We do this work for you — our friends, neighbors & fellow Texans. We’ve been proudly #TexanSince 2009, and our work is far from over. trib.it/fmd19

5/ Our newsroom of 58 — the largest statehouse bureau in the U.S. — includes native Texans and newbies alike. We cover Texas’ politics with years of journalism experience, but also as Texans with roots here, who understand the nuances of our great state. trib.it/fmd19

6/6 And those nuances include you. The stories we tell are bigger than us, and it’s our mission to engage you in them. Creating a better informed Texas is a team effort, and we can’t do it without you. Will you join us this Fall Member Drive? trib.it/fmd19
