🤠What We Cover Statewide
Texas has 254 counties, 29 million people, and a public records law, the Texas Public Information Act, that is among the strongest in the country. Objective Wire reporters use Texas PI credentials to investigate stories that span county lines: workers compensation fraud rings, missing persons cases, public contract corruption, and environmental violations by oil and gas operators.
We prioritize stories that no single local outlet can pursue because they require multi-county investigation, surveillance, or source development across long distances. Licensed PI methods make this possible in ways that traditional reporters cannot match.
