1. Start with the geography your firm actually serves
Gatesville is a municipality in Coryell County, Texas. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimate records 16,228 residents for Gatesville, with a margin of error of 42. A Legal News decision therefore needs a service-area definition before it needs a publishing target. Decide whether a page should address Gatesville, Coryell County, a broader Texas audience, or more than one of those areas. A story involving a Texas statute may be relevant statewide even when it has no Gatesville connection. A local incident may be useful only if your firm handles the related legal issue and serves the affected geography.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic policy for review: Gatesville, Coryell County, Texas statewide matters, and any additional area your firm can lawfully and practically serve. Use it only as context when deciding whether the city is within your intended coverage.
