Editorial Standards

Independence

Coverage decisions at Texas AI Report are made by the editor on the merits, free from the direction of advertisers, sponsors, or outside owners. The publication is independently owned and self-funded. Where a story references a company or organization with which the editor has a material relationship, that relationship is disclosed within the story itself.

Sourcing

Reporting is built from primary sources: legislation and regulatory filings, official agency documents, peer-reviewed research, court records, and on-record statements from named individuals or organizations. Secondary sources are cited and linked. We do not publish claims we cannot trace to a verifiable primary source.

Material facts — statistics, funding figures, company facts, statements of law or policy, and attributed quotes — are corroborated against at least three independent, citable sources before publication. A claim that rests on a single source is labeled as such, or held until it can be corroborated.

For legal and regulatory stories, facts are checked against primary government or judicial sources before publication.

AI-Assisted Workflow

Texas AI Report uses an AI-assisted newsroom workflow to research, draft, and organize facts. Before anything publishes, every material claim must clear a fact-check gate — corroborated against at least three independent, citable sources, with nothing published that we cannot trace to resolvable sources. We never publish an AI-generated fact, quote, or statistic that isn't independently sourced. Editorial oversight sits over the process, and higher-stakes legal and regulatory items receive additional human review.

Analysis vs. Legal Advice

Texas AI Report provides analysis and commentary on AI law, policy, and regulation. Nothing published here constitutes legal advice. Readers facing legal questions should consult a qualified attorney.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and transparently. See our Corrections policy for how to request a correction and how corrections are marked on published articles.
