Cooke County Record: Gainesville's Digital-First Newspaper

We deliver timely, transparent coverage of Cooke County, Texas. From city hall to the courthouse, from Friday night lights to road work updates - powered by a local newsroom mindset and modern automation.

What We Cover

Cooke County Record focuses on the civic and economic life of Gainesville and surrounding communities, including Lindsay, Muenster, Valley View, Lake Kiowa, and rural townships. Our coverage priorities include:

  • Government transparency: agendas, votes, budgets, and decisions from Cooke County Commissioners Court, the City of Gainesville, and local boards.
  • Legal and public notices: foreclosure postings, procurement bids, zoning hearings, and infrastructure projects republished for community awareness.
  • Schools and sports: Gainesville ISD, Lindsay ISD, Muenster ISD, Valley View ISD, Callisburg ISD, UIL athletics, and extracurricular achievements.
  • Business and growth: development filings, new storefronts, job opportunities, and the changing economic landscape along I-35 and US-82.
  • Safety and weather: road closures, TxDOT updates, emergency alerts, and National Weather Service briefings tailored to Cooke County.

How We Work

Cooke County Record blends human editors with responsible automation, helping us monitor public data feeds and surface breaking news faster. Every published story is reviewed by a local editor before it goes live. We cite primary sources, link to original sources, and revise quickly when new facts emerge.

AI transparency: Sensitive topics such as crime, courts, health, obituaries - always receive human-only drafting or heavy editing before publication.
