Houston Chronicle launches Texas Inc. Monday section

Al Lewis

The Houston Chronicle has started Texas Inc., a weekly guide to the state’s economy.

Texas Inc. is an expansion of its Monday business section, turned into a tab. It also will double as a weekly that is mailed to affluent addresses. There’s a daily newsletter and a website as well.

Business editor Al Lewis writes, “Here we’ll be covering the big money, big players and big companies that drive the state’s economy. Our goal is to develop the most authoritative voice of Texas capitalism — covering everything from energy and industry to real estate and entrepreneurs — online every day and in print every week.

“We’ll bring you exclusive features, profiles and stories on major issues, newsmakers and companies. We’ll name the winners and losers. We’ll tell you what’s growing and what’s slowing, gathering probing insights on how and why companies, and their leaders, succeed or fail.

“We’ll give you a weekly scorecard with our Bloomberg/Texas Inc. Stock Watch and Economics Dashboard. We’ll give you:

  • Real estate and development updates on our Prime Property pages
  • Energy news on our Fuel Fix pages
  • Legal news by Texas Lawbook on our Docket pages
  • Technology news on our Innovations pages
  • Business news on our Bizfeed pages

“Each week, we’ll interview some of the state’s most powerful, successful and interesting business leaders.”

  • Really like the Texasinc. arriving in my Houston Chronicle, especially the DASHBOARD page as it provides the quickread I like.
    How about using the same 5 year graphing on all charts? That would provide consistent historical perspective on all the headings.
