That’s why you’re welcome to republish our articles and graphics for free using the following ground rules, which may be updated from time to time. (Please <a href="/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#056b666d6a6471604571607d647671776c67706b602b6a7762">let us know</a> if you republish our stories; it makes us happy!)</p> <p> </p> <p>Here’s what you need to know:</p> <p> </p> <p>1. You can’t change the story in any way with two exceptions:</p> <p>          a. Changing references to timing (say, “today” to “yesterday”) or to suit your in-house style rules (“Beaumont” to “Beaumont, Tex.”).</p> <p>          b. Shortening a story for length. Just include “This story has been edited for length."</p> <p>2. You can republish our photos and graphics as long as you’re running them on the stories with which they originally appeared. If you want to run a photo or graphic apart from that story, you must seek permission. (We don’t always have the copyrights to pass along!) Email our <a href="/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#08697a7c487c6d70697b7c7a616a7d666d26677a6f">art department</a> or our managing editor, <a href="/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7415191d000006153400110c150700061d16011a115a1b0613">Ayan Mittra</a>, for help.</p> <p>3.

Link back to our home page, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/">texastribune.org</a>, in that credit line.</p> <p>4. At the end of the story, when possible, please add the following: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/">The Texas Tribune</a> is a nonpartisan, nonprofit media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them – about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.</p> <p>5. Don’t resell the story to someone else.</p> <p>6. Don’t sell ads against our story. Feel free, however, to publish it on a page surrounded by ads you’ve already sold.</p> <p>7. If you publish our story online, please try your best to include all of our internal links and link to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150718102506/http://www.texastribune.org/">texastribune.org</a>.</p> <p>8. If we send you a request to remove the content from your site, you must agree to do so immediately.</p> <p> </p> <p>Note that the “republish” button at the top of the story’s page is the easiest way to grab and go. <br/> <br/> For questions regarding The Texas Tribune’s republishing guidelines, please contact Natalie Choate, director of media relations and partnerships, at <a
