For Texas Monthly, dan solomon 🙈 and I told the story of Mark A. Myers, a hall-of-fame girls basketball coach who has a history of grooming and harassment that dates back to the 90s. We spent 9 months reporting this. It’s a hard one, but I hope you’ll read. texasmonthly.com/arts-entertain…

For Texas Monthly I’m writing about the heat and am collecting first-hand accounts of how the weather is affecting Texans’ daily lives. Have you had a flight canceled due to extreme weather? Are you working outdoors right now? DM or reply in thread

What happens when a prominent Dallas attorney gets ticked off about thousands of his fellow citizens being thrown out of their homes in violation of the law? Courtroom fireworks, for starters. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Say what you will about private land ownership in Texas, it's this very same gatekeeping that has kept some of the state's most precious natural resources pristine. The Devils River is one example Texas Monthly texasmonthly.com/travel/devils-…

This is seismic news about one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice in Texas history (which is saying something). The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals should have made this finding back in 1987. It's shameful that it took the court 37 years to do the right thing.

During a nearly yearlong investigation, our reporters interviewed current and former elected officials, legislative staffers, interns, and lobbyists, to learn about allegations and a culture that continues to enable misconduct. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

This is your reminder that taking a break from journalism can make you better at it. Don't be afraid to pause when you need to. It'll be there when you get back.

I was always a little intimidated by Zac. By his talent as a writer and reporter but also by his ability to not fill every silence. Which I’m sure helped make him a great writer and reporter. The coolest character. The saddest news—for Dallas and beyond. dmagazine.com/frontburner/20…

Zac Crain was a fascinating, talented writer, and magazine journalism in Texas is worse off without him. The @texasmonthly staff sends our condolences to his friends, family, and @dmagazine colleagues. dmagazine.com/frontburner/20…

Another uniquely Texan, uniquely Larsonian story from Lauren Larson This time: “the rodeo doctor” texasmonthly.com/being-texan/ro…

I spent much of the summer reporting on Ted Cruz for this Texas Monthly cover story, including shadowing Cruz for two days in DC. I discovered a senator divided against himself, desperately trying to broaden his appeal while retaining his MAGA support texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly. For 8 months, I've investigated undocumented construction workers, the bosses hiring them, and the politicians who look the other way: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

SPN: In December I’ll return to Texas Monthly as a senior staff writer! I’m so excited to work with Ross McCammon and the other brilliant editors there, and to bring a benign toxicity to Slack
