Early Texas Newspapers, a Comprehensive List

 

The following is a list of all known newspapers from the Pre-Republic Period of Texas, 1823-36. Note, I'm aware of the early papers from 1813 (the Gutierrez Magee Expedition) and 1820 (the Long Expedition), but those are not included here. These represent the papers from the Austin Colony period. 

To view the papers, hover over the dates/links in yellow. This will take you to external sites. The rights for each paper are as noted in the links. 

Note: The Portal for Texas History dates are all over the board. Some are close guesses, some are clearly wrong, as the contents of the articles show. The dates noted below are the correct ones when full dates are shown, but otherwise are best estimates based of contextual clues.
