Texas Family Magazine is a family-oriented magazine published in Texas.

It was launched in 2005 by Jesse Santiago and Misha Davida. Texas Family Magazine is a state-wide, family values-focused magazine with an anticipated 2007 subscriber base of over 675,000, making it the largest Texas-focused magazine and the largest state-focused magazine anywhere in the country. The magazine is available at every major newsstand location throughout Texas and is the official publication partner of the Texas PTA. Texas Family is a standard-size 8.125” x 10.5” magazine, with a glossy cover and is currently printed on a bi-monthly basis, with plans to switch to monthly publication in 2008. Recent cover stories have included Debbie Clemens (Jan/Feb 2006), wife of MLB pitcher Roger Clemens; Ricardo Antonio Chavira of Desperate Housewives (March/April 2006); Joel & Victoria Osteen of Lakewood Church (May/June 2006); and Dana Vollmer, Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer (July/August 2006).

Texas Family Magazine is dedicated to the preservation of family and the promotion of family values. Its core readership demographic is 25 - 45 year old women.

Each issue of Texas Family Magazine includes a cover story, three feature stories, and a series of special interest columns all devoted to some aspect or issue relating to family values. All 2006 issues contain full feature-length cover stories which highlight the theme of that particular issue. By building each issue around a central theme, Texas Family Magazine claims to increase the educational value of the content provided. A main idea and/or theme is introduced, and then investigated from various angels through three different articles. One feature-length article will generally give an overview of the theme, while other articles highlight prominent Texas newsmakers and get their views on the topic. By focusing on a central theme versus bombarding readers with too many bits of dissociated information, Texas Family Magazine believes it can create an enduring resource with relevant, useful, and focused content.

Texas Family Magazine, Inc. is led by Jesse Santiago, Publisher and Founder, who was previously National Sales Manager for Experience Life Magazine (CPM Media). During his tenure, he grew the magazine from its seedling stage to a paid circulation of over 500,000 and established marketing alliances with leading companies, including New Balance, Colgate, Casio, BMW, Spalding, Michelob Ultra, Honda, Dannon, Frito-Lay, and Nike. Jennifer Skovan, Editor-in-Chief, was formerly Editorial Events Manager with CPM Media, where she produced over 50 technology expos a year, including the largest in the US, the PCEXPO / TECHXNY. Misha Davida, VP of Business Development and Sales, was the former President of Radford Press and Associate Publisher of McGraw Hill.
