Bringing Texas Stories to Your Living Room

In May 2025, Texas Monthly added to its growing portfolio of storytelling by premiering four episodes of a new half-hour program on Texas PBS stations and streaming on the PBS app. Texas Monthly Presents is a docuseries that celebrates the storytelling for which Texas Monthly is known by spotlighting the work of its writers and their talents. Each segment features a writer taking the viewer inside an urgent, dynamic story, turning toward the viewer and inviting them into a place that expands the collective perception of a state known for its fascinating characters and unforgettable stories of tragedy and triumph.

The first episodes of the series spotlighted how historical spaces evolve over time and how barbecue joints and taquerias are more than what's on their menus. Early ratings data showed growth in viewership each week, and local station directors made clear they wanted to see more of this dynamic new show.

"Adapting our magazine articles for TV is a thrilling new way for us to reach more and more people around Texas, a state with a landmass bigger than France's and a GDP bigger than Russia's," said Ross McCammon, editor in chief of Texas Monthly. "In this format, the stories that move us feel that much more moving. The stories that thrill us feel that much more thrilling. And the stories about tacos and barbecue make us hungrier. I couldn't be prouder of this work-some of the best new storytelling on television, in Texas and beyond."

"Texas PBS stations are proud of this partnership to expand our traditions of great storytelling," said Kierstan Schwab, executive director of Texas PBS. "Texas Monthly has won national awards for its brand of storytelling over the last fifty years, so it just made a lot of sense to partner and share some of those great stories with PBS audiences."

The upcoming thirteen episodes will explore themes as rich and textured as the magazine itself: change, resilience, roots, and discovery.
