Publisher: The Sealy News: Serving Sealy and Austin County, Texas, since 1887

Walker and has enjoyed a long history of being the predominant news source of Sealy and the surrounding communities. The Sealy News has gone through several owners in the past 127 years, but through all of the changes, one thing has remained constant: It will always be Sealy’s local newspaper and strive to serve the community. On June 4, 1996, The Sealy News became a semi-weekly newspaper to bring more news in a more timely manner. It has been a hard transition, mainly due to the fact that change is hard for everyone. But change is good most of the time, and as the community grows and changes, so must we all. The staff at The Sealy News is working hard to put as much news as possible in each issue. In 2009, The Sealy News became a weekly newspaper, bundling all the important news readers want in one issue.
