At Texas View, our mission is to provide Texans — and those interested in Texas — with accurate, helpful, and trustworthy information. This policy outlines how we research, write, and publish our content.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We prioritize accuracy by using reliable sources. Articles often reference:
- ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) for the electricity grid data.
- Public Utility Commission of Texas for regulatory updates.
- U.S. Energy Information Administration for national and state-level energy data.
- Local government, universities, and recognized research centers for history and culture.
When covering food, festivals, or travel, we utilize official event websites, local organizations, and firsthand visits to ensure accuracy of details.
Content Creation Process
- Research: Writers gather data from verified sources and cross-check information.
- Writing: Articles are drafted in plain, accessible language that reflects a Texas-focused voice.
- Review: Content is checked for factual accuracy and clarity before publishing.
- Updates: Major guides (such as electricity costs and event coverage) are reviewed regularly to reflect current conditions.
Independence and Integrity
Texas View occasionally includes affiliate links (such as to Amazon or Compare Power). These links may result in a commission if a reader makes a purchase. Such partnerships are always disclosed, and they never influence editorial content.
We do not publish sponsored articles that lack transparency, and any guest contributions must meet our editorial standards.
Transparency and Tone
We avoid unnecessary jargon or overly promotional language. Articles are written in a neutral, reader-first style.
Corrections Policy
If errors are identified, we correct them promptly. When appropriate, we note the update date at the bottom of an article. Readers are encouraged to report issues via our Contact Page.
Publishing Principles
This policy aligns with our About Page and reflects our overall commitment: to make Texas information accessible, practical, and trustworthy.
