Veritas

Veritas is the Latin word for "truth." And truth is exactly what the Texas Public Policy Foundation brings you in each issue of our quarterly newsletter, Veritas. From fresh perspectives on the issues facing our state to the latest news about the Foundation, Veritas offers readers a concise guide to our ideas, work and impact.

The old Veritas format articles are also available online.

(If you have an idea or proposal for a future Veritas article, please contact us at info@TexasPolicy.com but do not send manuscripts.)
