Texas papers by circulation

I couldn't Google up a list of Texas papers sorted by circulation, so I made one, in hopes it can serve as a resource for people seeking to get oriented. This is by no means all the newspapers in Texas; it's mostly TDNA member papers. For all 524 paid-circulation Texas newspapers, sorted alphabetically, go to the TPA database and search for "all" with a blank search field.

If you'd like to be listed as a contact for your newspaper (somebody willing to help students or other prospective Aggie applicants with general background info or advice), just e-mail, and thank you!

Circulations and intern contact e-mails are as reported to TDNA unless asterisked. Format is (Sunday/daily).
