Publisher e.Republic Inc. has launched Texas Technology, a regional magazine created for Texas state, city, county and education IT executives.

Texas Technology is a quarterly magazine with an initial circulation of 30,000. The initial 52 page issue showcases statewide best practices, leadership, and information management to the public sector.

The first issue's cover story features Texas Rep. Carl Isett, and State Sen.

Other editorial includes how technology is being used by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and how state and local government teamed with private sector to build solutions for Katrina evacuees.
