Editorial & Corrections Policy

Our Mission

The Texas Porch celebrates everyday life in Texas, from sleeper towns and family-run diners to festivals, road trips and local news that matters to Texans. Our goal is to give readers useful, accurate and friendly information they can use to plan their next outing.

Who Runs The Texas Porch

The Texas Porch is published by Clark Media Ventures LLC and led by co-founders Abbie Clark and Joshua Clark, both Texas natives. You can learn more about us on our About page.

How We Choose Stories

We cover places, events and topics we believe Texas readers will find useful or interesting. Story ideas come from our own travels, reader tips, local news and official announcements from cities, counties, tourism offices and event organizers.

Accuracy and Sourcing

We aim to get every detail right. Before publishing, we confirm key facts such as addresses, hours, dates and prices against official sources, including business websites, event organizers, government agencies and established news outlets. When we cite another publication’s reporting, we credit and link to it. When details are likely to change, we say so.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are our own. Advertisers and affiliate partners do not influence which places we recommend or what we say about them. We never accept payment for positive coverage. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled. See our Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure for details.

Updating Our Stories

Texas changes fast, and we revisit popular articles to keep them current. When we make a meaningful update to an article, such as new hours, a closure or updated event dates, we note the update in the article.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to fix it. To report an error, email contact@thetexasporch.com with the subject line “Correction,” the article link and the information that needs to be corrected. We review every request. When we correct a factual error, we update the article promptly and add a note explaining what changed.

Reader Feedback

We love hearing from readers, whether it is a story tip, a hometown favorite or a suggestion for how we can do better. Reach us anytime at contact@thetexasporch.com or visit our Contact page.
