How to send us news tips

A good news tip is about an interesting, verifiable story that’s relevant to residents of Houston, Harris County and the neighboring seven counties in our news coverage area: Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend and Waller.

If you want to protect your identity and your communications, it’s best to avoid contacting us from any device that others can access, such as your work computer, your work phone or a work account.

If you have a smartphone, you can use the gold standard of secure communication with an app called Signal. Available on Apple and Android, Signal uses end-to-end encryption, which means not even the people at Signal can read our messages. Contact Managing Editor John Tedesco on Signal at 210-692-4655. The app is free to download and use. If you use WhatsApp, which also encrypts its messages, you can message John at the same number.

Using the U.S. Postal Service is a safe, old-school way to contact us, especially if you want to send us records that help document your story idea. Our address is 4203 Montrose Blvd., Suite 650, Houston, TX, 77006. If you want to remain anonymous, don’t put your name or return address on the envelope.
