With a devoted readership and a history of courageous journalism from the likes of Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower, The Texas Observer has been at the forefront of Texas politics since 1954.
"The Observer is the finest example of pure journalism I know. It does, in fact, comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. If youve ever wondered whether theres more going on out there, try the Observer. There is." Molly Ivins

You will receive incisive journalism, analysis, and writing on the arts in the pages of The Texas Observer every two weeks. Twice a year, in the summer and winter, the Observer publishes a special issue devoted to books and the culture, and then skips an issue.

 Texas Observer January 8, 2009
P. J. Almaguer (McAllen, TX)

There is no better news magazine that covers the zaniness that Texas politics and government is all about. I look forward to coverage of the three ring circus that is the biennial Legislative Session but I also enjoy their book reviews, poems and op eds.
Worth your time to read August 24, 2008

The Texas Observer is the kind of critical news paper that should be required reading by anyone who has reached teen-age and/or older. Most people read words but don't attempt to understand their meaning, but the authors of articles in the Observer write on subjects that should be near and dear to those living in Texas and words of warning to those living in other states. It's unfortunate that many articles describe the results of things perpetrated by unscrupulous persons but are eagerly used by others as a plan of action in their own state. It's too bad my state, Missouri, has no such publication.
Can't do without the Texas Observer July 10, 2008

I have lived all over the country and never let my subscription to the Texas Observer lapse. I send gift subscriptions to my friends overseas. Where else can you get clear perspective, the unvarnished truth, and the highest quality of writing and investigative reporting - all delivered with sass and wit? And it's a great bargain! There's also a collection from past issues, Fifty Years of the Texas Observer. Stay informed and entertained, get it today.

You don't need to be a Texan, or give a damn about Texas politics to find the Texas Observer useful, insightful, outrageous, and downright fun to read. The Observer is the juicy peach of political journalism and good writing, bursting with flavorful stories and tidbits every two weeks.
