The Houston Chronicle was founded in 1901 by a former reporter for the now-defunct Houston Post,.
During the campaign the Houston Chronicle made a request to Texans for True Mobility (TTM), the main critic of METRORail, to provide the paper with a copy of their financial contributor reports.
The Chronicle argued that the statute applied to TTM's advertising slogan, "Metro's Rail Plan Costs Too Much, Does Too Little." However, TTM was registered as a non-profit 501(c)6 organization rather than a political action committee (PAC) and thus not obliged to submit a PAC financial disclosure under state law.

 Houston Chronicle Considers Immigration Prosecutions a "Waste" | NewsBusters.org
The Houston Chronicle hits a home-run with this sap-fest on Illegal Immigration, delivering one sympathetic story after another on how mean the US border control policies are to people breaking the law.
The Houston Chronicles sympathizes with the illegal's claiming that they are doing so because "most cases were economic or an attempt to reunite a family." Robbing a bank is done for economic reasons too, but it is still illegal to do so.
The Chronicle goes on to tell us about another young man who complains to the judge that he wants only to work in order to buy diapers for his son, and a high school teacher who was "sobbing" after being caught trying to smuggle (or in Chron-speak: "bring") her brother over the border.

Yet despite the damage Allison wrought upon Houston, dropping more than 3 feet of water in some areas, a few days later much of the city returned to normal as bloated bayous drained into the Gulf of Mexico.
This, in turn, draws water from the ground, further drying the ground and sinking it deeper, a problem known as subsidence.
Houston's solution is a plan to convert to surface drinking water.

 Handbook of Texas Online: HOUSTON CHRONICLE
On October 14, 1901, the Houston Chronicle was founded in a squalid three-story building on Texas Avenue in the heart of downtown Houston.
The Chronicle stood tall in the front ranks in the fight against the Klan, and Foster was the standard bearer.
When the Houston Endowment had to divest itself of the profit-making paper under new state laws, the Chronicle was sold to the Hearst Corporation in 1987 for $415 million, at that time the highest price ever paid for an American newspaper.

The memorandum http://www.robbooth.net/chrnmem.shtml outlined a draft agenda of coordinated news articles, editorials, and op-eds to be published by the paper, seemingly to promote a hotly contested mass transit referendum to expand Houston's controversial METRORail system on the 2003 ballot, which was later approved narrowly by voters.
Consistent with the memorandum's stated "specific objective" http://www.robbooth.net/chrnmem.shtml, the Chronicle editorial page remained a vocal public advocate of the METROrail referendum in late 2003 and repeatedly endorsed its adoption.

Townley is 53 years old, slightly broad of girth, red of face and, in his words, "too old for this sort of thing." But he recently remarried, and he figured one of the best ways to forge family ties with his wife, his stepchildren and his daughter, Rochelle, was to ride in the MS 150.
She is also the wife of Jack Loftis, the Chronicle's associate publisher and editor.
Although her relationship with the Chronicle was never in jeopardy, friends said Mesinger made a point of keeping a brave front in the midst of MS because she constantly wanted to prove that she was still physically capable of doing the job.

 Dow Chemical is accused of 'dead peasant' insurance LM SIXEL / Houston Chronicle 6jun02
Dolores Baker, who sued Dow in U.S. District Court in Houston, claims that if the company had a such a policy on her husband -- a security supervisor who retired from Dow's plant in Freeport in 1993 and died in 1999 -- she should receive the benefit, not the company.
Michael Myers, with the law firm of McClanahan and Clearman in Houston, said if the company paid $10,000 a year in premiums, the benefits to covered employees could be worth as much as $300,000 each.
The Wal-Mart employees lived in Texas, worked in Texas and died in Texas, wrote Atlas, and at the time the policies were written, Texas employers did not have an "insurable interest" in the lives of their employees.

The revised Houston Chronicle marks a milestone in newspaper design as it’s probably the first modern paper to use a venetian oldstyle for body copy.
Along with Schwartz and Black, masthead man Jim Parkinson had a hand in the Chronicle’s new logo, which is based on something they used in the first half of the 1900s.
I would be interested in hearing further as to why the angled stroke of the crossbar on the “e” was abandoned — to me this is the defining character of the Jenson/Venetian style (along with the “extra” serifs on the M).

 'Houston Chronicle' Poll: Support for DeLay Falling in His District   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Published: April 04, 2005 11:15 AM ET (AP) A new Houston Chronicle poll shows support for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has slipped drastically in his district, and a majority of his constituents disapprove of how he handled the Terri Schiavo case.
Nearly 40 percent of 501 voters questioned last week said their opinion of the powerful Sugar Land Republican was less favorable than last year, compared with 11 percent who said their view of him has improved, the newspaper reported Sunday.
DeLay's district, which sprawls across the southern suburbs of Houston, changed shape for the last election because of a state redistricting effort that he promoted to elect more Republicans to the U.S. House.

on Thursday profiled new AIDS Foundation Houston CEO Kelly McCann, a former clinical psychologist who began working for AFH in 1996 after several of her friends died of AIDS-related causes in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
McCann, who previously served as AFH's vice president of community relations, replaced former CEO Michael Mizwa, who left the position in 2004 to work with the Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative.
"Kelly is extraordinary in that she has a true passion regarding HIV/AIDS and serving the Houston community," Mizwa said, adding, "She's made-to-order for the foundation." McCann plans to increase support for the AFH's annual AIDS walk in March, as well as launch a new program next month targeting young adults and teenagers.
