The News of Texas is a statewide newscast in Texas that was syndicated to 27 affiliate stations in the state by the San Antonio-based Texas Network (TXN) between January 18, 1999, and July 31, 2000. TXN was founded by James R. Leininger, a San Antonio physician and conservative political donor, and Bob Rogers, a longtime San Antonio news executive. The program provided in-depth news and feature coverage focusing on Texas issues. However, it expanded quickly and faced difficulty attracting viewers in large markets in the state. Unable to accrue advertising revenue, TXN shut down in 2000.
