1. Match the coverage area to the Fort Worth firm you actually serve
Fort Worth city has recorded relationships with Denton, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise counties. That does not mean a firm serves every one of those counties, and it does not define the firm’s metropolitan, state, or client-service boundaries. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. The practical question is whether the proposed coverage should speak to Fort Worth, a selected county relationship, Texas generally, or another defined service area. A page about a Texas law change may be useful statewide; a page about an incident may require narrower geographic language. A firm should also decide whether a story belongs on its website when the event is outside its service area but the legal issue is relevant.
Recommended approach
Before booking, list the geographic areas the firm may lawfully and accurately discuss. Ask Bosseo how geographic relevance is handled for Texas stories and how the firm can review wording that distinguishes Fort Worth from the five recorded county relationships. Do not use the city’s population as a forecast of readership or inquiries.
