Lubbock Lights is nonprofit local journalism for Lubbock and the South Plains. No paywall, no clickbait, and no national ad network deciding which stories you see.
TODAY'S LEAD
Open the app and the day's most important local story is already there. No scrolling to work out what mattered.
THE LEDGER
A running daily record of the stories we're tracking, each one linked straight to the original reporting behind it. If another newsroom broke it, we say so and we send you to them. You never have to take our word for it.
LATEST
Our full archive — more than 500 stories — searchable. Tap any story to read it in a fast, clean reader that keeps working after you've lost signal.
WEATHER
The forecast for wherever you actually are, not just downtown Lubbock, straight from the National Weather Service. Active alerts included.
OUR STUFF
Broadcasts, obituaries, and every beat we cover — city hall, the county, schools, Texas Tech, business, and more.
BUILT FOR READING
- Type that scales with your iOS text size setting
- Save stories to finish later
- Optional notifications when we publish
- A confidential tip line straight to the newsroom
- Our corrections policy and a plain-English explanation of how we work, one tap away
HOW WE'RE FUNDED
Lubbock Lights is a nonprofit newsroom supported by readers and local sponsors. The app is free. There's no subscription, and no account to create.
Made in Lubbock, for Lubbock.
Ratings & Reviews
New: Capitol. What the Texas Legislature is doing that touches Lubbock and West Texas - committee hearings, bills and the local delegation, under Our Stuff. Follow any bill by number in My Bills; that list stays on your phone. Tap the info button to see exactly how the tab is built, including every keyword we use. Also new: an optional, anonymous usage-count share (Settings) that helps us report to the sponsors who keep the app free, and "How we build" notes for The Ledger, Boards and Capitol under About.
