The Dallas Morning News is partnering with The Texas Lawbook to bring readers in-depth coverage of business law in Texas, reports José Sánchez Córdova of the Morning News.

Cordova reports, “The Lawbook is a Dallas-based online publication that covers business law and lawyers in Texas. It was founded in 2011 by Mark Curriden, a lawyer and former legal affairs reporter for The News, and has grown into one of the largest legal publications in Texas.

“‘This partnership with The Dallas Morning News allows us to showcase our substantive and in-depth coverage of business law to a much larger statewide audience,’ Curriden said in a statement. ‘We look forward to working side by side with the TDMN’s award-winning journalists.’

“The Lawbook announced Jeff Schnick as its new editor in July. Schnick is a former editor-in-chief at the Dallas Business Journal and a former assistant business editor at The News.”
