Seven Years. One Community. Endless Gratitude.

On April 17, 2026, HTX Media officially turns 7 years old, and with that milestone, we’ll be announcing a refresh.

What started as East Houston Breaking News was never expected to grow into what HTX Media is today. It began as a small idea and became something much bigger — built by the community, for the community.

For seven years, you’ve supported us through every high and low. I truly couldn’t have done this alone. A huge thank you to Steevo and Xavier, whose dedication, teamwork, and passion continue to push HTX Media forward.

It’s important to share that myself, Steevo, and Xavier all work full-time jobs outside of HTX Media. Despite that, we do our very best to stay active and keep our communities informed day and night. This platform exists because of passion, sacrifice, and a genuine commitment to serving the public.

Through collaborations with great friends and partners — including Grizzy’s Hood News and former news anchors and reporters — we’ve achieved milestones I once only dreamed of.

We’ve made mistakes along the way, and when we do, we hold ourselves accountable, correct the information, and work quickly to get accurate updates out. Transparency and trust will always come first.

What began on one side of Houston has grown to reporting across the city, the country, and even the world. As we move into this next year, we’re refreshed, motivated, and more committed than ever to serving our diverse communities.

To everyone who has followed, shared, supported, corrected, and believed in us — thank you. Thank you for an unforgettable six years. We can’t wait to celebrate year seven with you.

Here’s to growth.
Here’s to accountability.
Here’s to community.
And here’s to what’s next.

🚨 UVALDE SCHOOL SHOOTING CASE MOVED OUT OF UVALDE 🚨

Robb Elementary Criminal Trial Relocated to Corpus Christi

The criminal case stemming from the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, has officially been moved to Corpus Christi following a judge’s decision to grant a change of venue.

⚖️ The case involves former Uvalde CISD police officer Adrian Gonzales, who faces 29 counts of child endangerment and abandonment related to law enforcement’s delayed response during the massacre that claimed the lives of 19 students and 2 teachers.

📍 Why the move?
Attorneys argued that holding the trial in Uvalde would make it nearly impossible to seat an impartial jury due to the deep emotional impact the tragedy continues to have on the community. The court agreed, selecting Nueces County (Corpus Christi) to ensure a fair trial.

📅 What’s next:
Jury selection is expected to begin January 2026, marking the first criminal trial tied to the police response in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

🕊️ For families of the victims, the venue change represents another step—however painful—toward accountability and justice.

This case is expected to draw national attention as the legal reckoning over the Uvalde response continues.

📍 Corpus Christi, Texas
🖤 Remembering the victims of Robb Elementary.

🚨 CONSTABLE DEPUTY CHARGED AFTER ALLEGEDLY ASSAULTING 3 NURSES AT BAYTOWN HOSPITAL 🚨

A constable deputy is facing assault charges after allegedly attacking three nurses — including one who is pregnant — inside a Baytown hospital.

According to Baytown police, the incident happened early New Year’s morning while the deputy was at the hospital receiving medical treatment. Authorities say the suspect became violent, assaulting multiple nurses before fleeing through sections of the hospital, causing panic among staff and patients.

Hospital security was able to detain the deputy until police arrived. The condition of the nurses has not been publicly released.

The case raises serious concerns about hospital safety and accountability when violence occurs inside medical facilities.

What started HTX Breaking News?

Before HTX Breaking News was called ‘HTX Breaking News’, it was originally called ‘East Houston Breaking News. We orignally created this page for the East Houston area, until we got many requests to cover the entire Houston area. After creating other pages for the different sides of Houston, we then got one request to cover the entire Harris County area and some surrounding counties. Long story short, HTX Breaking News was created. HTX Breaking News originally stands for (Houston, Texas Breaking News) but, we prefer for it to stand for (Harris Texas Breaking News).

I am Brandon, the creator and editor of HTX Breaking News. I love doing things for my community, Denver Harbor, but I also love doing things for my WHOLE community, Houston, Texas. My wish, and goal, is to get as many visitors to the entire Harris County as possible. I hope to start live streaming HTX Breaking News soon.

I love photography, it is one of my main hobbies. I might be starting on an iPhone but you will soon, hopefully, see my work on your television. I plan on becoming a photographer, or a reporter, for my local news stations, KTRK (ABC13), KRIV(FOX26), KHOU(11), or KPRC(2). I do not get paid doing this but I do hope to start soon. I would love to get a camera/camcorder and computer to do some editing. Journalism may sound like an easy job but it really takes a lot of time and energy. I rely on other news stations, law enforcement agencies, and my community to give me information and photos of scenes/events. I do enjoy doing this though. I love meeting new people too and I am hoping to meet you one day.

Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to thank all of my supporters for helping my dream come true as a journalist and photographer. THANK YOU ALL!
