Who We Are
Editor & Lead Writer: Christian Linden
I write under the pen name Christian Linden. I’ve been publishing guides about Texas since 2020, focusing on topics that matter most to residents, newcomers, and anyone planning a move. My background includes years of research and writing in Texas energy markets, lifestyle, and local history.
Contributors
Texas View also welcomes contributions from local writers and researchers who know their regions first-hand. Whether it’s the details of a county courthouse, the latest ERCOT report, or a favorite small-town festival, their knowledge keeps our coverage grounded and authentic.
What We Cover
- Energy & Cost of Living – Electricity rates, budgeting tips, and home energy efficiency.
- Texas Towns & Counties – Histories, maps, and local culture that give context to each corner of the state.
- Food & Festivals – Barbecue, fairs, Oktoberfest celebrations, and seasonal events across Texas.
- Lifestyle & Daily Life – Housing, moving guides, and insights into living well in Texas.
This wide range reflects what it truly means to live in Texas, offering practical information alongside the state’s unique culture.
Why Trust Texas View
We follow a straightforward process to ensure accuracy and transparency:
- Source-Driven Research: Articles draw on official sources, including ERCOT, the Public Utility Commission of Texas, EIA.gov, and local government websites.
- Experience in Publishing: With years of digital publishing experience, I bring the discipline of editing, fact-checking, and clear writing to every guide.
- Transparency in Partnerships: Some articles include affiliate links (for example, to ComparePower). These are disclosed, and partnerships do not influence our editorial decisions.
- Ongoing Updates: Texas changes quickly. Electricity prices, event schedules, and even county data shift over time, so we regularly update articles.
Our Mission
Texas View exists to make information accessible and useful. Texans deserve clear answers, whether they’re choosing a new power plan, planning a trip to the State Fair, or researching the history of their county.
