Texas City Sun

The Texas Coast News, the first newspaper published in Texas City (1895-1897), recognized the need for comprehensive coverage of Galveston-area coastal communities, many of which lacked local newspapers. In 1915, The Texas City Sun assumed this responsibility, providing regular coverage for communities across Greater Galveston County, including Alvin, Santa Fe, Dickinson, Bacliff, Kemah, League City, and others. Even as some of these towns developed their own papers, The Texas City Sun continued to serve the region until its closure in 2004, maintaining a commitment to broad community coverage.
