Want to know more about how to use government data and open government laws to investigate environmental issues in your community? Did you miss our Tuesday episode of our TrentTV webinar on that topic?

Worry no more. The episode is now up on our YouTube channel (that's youtube.com/texaswatchdog) for you to view at your convenience. It's posted in four parts, each one about 12 or so minutes, and they're titled Parts 1 through 4 so you'll know which one to start with. In fact, you can see Part 1 right on this very web page.

And go ahead and mark your calendars for Dec. 7, when we'll be hosting the next TrentTV webinar on investigating lobbying.

If you haven't already become a fan of ours on Facebook, be sure to "like" our page there. That'll give you up-to-the-minute reminders and schedules for TrentTV and all the interesting news and reporting coming out of the Texas Watchdog newsroom.

Don't forget -- we do in-person training, too, on public records. Texas Watchdog will come to your town in Texas and talk to your community group, neighborhood group, PTA, advocacy group -- whoever you are, whatever your issue is, we can talk to you about freedom of information and how you can use open government laws to find out what government is up to. Just give us a yell. Operators aren't standing by, but we are. E-mail Trent Seibert at trent@texaswatchdog.org.
