A new class at Marfa ISD is teaching @marfashorthorns the tradition of conjunto and filling the halls with the swelling sounds of the accordion. “I think it’s better than a marching band because it’s most of our culture,” one student said." bigbendsentinel.com/2024/08/28/new…

In rural Texas, addresses can be tricky, with folks creating their own street names, or maps missing roads entirely. What happens when these informal systems clash with official needs? texasstandard.org/stories/addres…
Shout out to @TexasStandard for featuring my @bigbendsentinel story about addressing in rural locations. Story was prompted by locals complaining about issues with the Marfa post office, but it turns out this is not the job of the USPS! texasstandard.org/stories/addres…
“A fire that broke out next to the Holland Hotel in Alpine late yesterday afternoon could not be quickly contained and burned through several businesses…” Just awful. I’m off today and out of town but follow @bigbendsentinel & @MarfaRadio for more: bigbendsentinel.com/2024/05/27/fir…

My latest on the ongoing suicide crisis in CBP – featuring my first candid, on-the-record interviews with local Border Patrol (border journos know what a feat it can be to get clearance) & a deeply moving opposing viewpoint from survivor @buddjenn bigbendsentinel.com/2024/04/17/the…
2nd article in the @bigbendsentinel mental health series focuses on the role of local leaders and law enforcement - please read! The story illuminates a very serious issue for our rural communities and questions our state’s fiscal priorities. bigbendsentinel.com/2024/04/03/a-d…
Some folks in little old Far West Texas trying to be heard on the loss of life in Gaza and Israel, by pushing for a City Council resolution on a ceasefire. #Marfatx Council had it on the agenda, but didn't give it a vote. @mkcant @bigbendsentinel bigbendsentinel.com/2024/03/01/gaz…
Texas is a news desert. A vacuum that festers corruption and weakens communities. #txlege
In West Texas every vote matters - particularly when you're the only eligible voter in an election to create a new utility district that can levy taxes, etc. Great reporting from @mkcant and @bigbendsentinel: bigbendsentinel.com/2023/11/08/fin…
Well it doesn’t get more Far West Texas than this: “If approved by the one eligible voter, the district will have the power to levy taxes, issue bonds, and more.” Via @bigbendsentinel bigbendsentinel.com/2023/11/01/sin…
Front page of the newspaper + front of the additional Chinati Weekend section, essentially a whole other full-sized paper on Marfa's biggest arts weekend. I'm especially proud of our small staff this week for pulling off this 22-page beast.
In Marfa, the fate of the historic Brite Ranch is at the heart of a prominent family's yearslong legal dispute. A jury verdict rendered last week favored the heirs who are suing their brother for the right to sell. bigbendsentinel.com/2023/06/28/sto…
