One thing has become clear to us here at the Observer in 2023, and that is that Texas needs an Observer. It needs oversight on the important issues that affect our state's future. It needs politicians and big business to be held to account. Above all, it needs a community to stand up and say the hard things, not just the popular ones. 

Our community (that means you) has shown us incredible support this year, just when we needed it the most. With that support, our resolve to continue publishing hard-hitting journalism is now stronger than ever. 

That is why we are proud to introduce a new t-shirt for the Spring 2023 membership drive that says just what we feel– that TEXAS NEEDS AN OBSERVER. 

Each bundle comes with an exclusive new t-shirt design along with 1-year (6-issue) print membership that includes unlimited access to Texas Observer's online archive. 

The shirts are unisex standard sized, 100% cotton, and printed int he USA from sustainable water-based inks. 

THIS IS A PREORDER - Shirts will ship out on or around June 1st, 2023 and each package will include your first print magazine issue. Each subsequent issue will be shipped upon its release.
