Texas Monthly (stylized as TexasMonthly) is a monthly American magazine headquartered in Downtown Austin, Texas. Founded in 1973 by Michael R. Levy, Texas Monthly chronicles life in contemporary Texas, writing on politics, the environment, industry, and education. The magazine also covers leisure topics such as music, art, dining, and travel. It is a member of the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA).[3]

After being sold to Emmis Publishing, L.P. in 1998,[4] the magazine was later sold to Genesis Park LP in 2016 for $25 million,[5][6] and is currently owned by Randa Williams as of 2019.[7][8][9] In 2021, Texas Monthly began expanding into video production through its acquisition of Phillips Productions, best known as the producers of Texas Country Reporter.[10]
