Texas Monthly is a monthly American magazine published in Austin, Texas. 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, and travel. The magazine has a paid circulation of around 300,000 and is estimated to be read by more than 2,500,000 people each month.
Michael R. Levy began publishing Texas Monthly in February of 1973. The magazine has received nine National Magazine Awards (the magazine industry equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize). Its annual "Bum Steer Awards" poke fun at bad Texas politicians and policies, odd Texas-related news items and personalities from the previous year. Anna Nicole Smith is a perennial "winner."
