Published by Round Rock Shout Outs, your local news source for Round Rock, Texas.

As the year comes to a close and the holiday season settles in, we wanted to pause—just for a moment—and say thank you to the Round Rock community.

Round Rock Shout Outs exists for one simple reason: the people of Round Rock. The families, the small businesses, the long-time residents, the newcomers, the volunteers, the creators, and the quiet helpers who make this city feel like more than a place on a map.

Over the past year, you’ve welcomed this local newsletter into your inbox, shared it with neighbors, sent us tips and stories, and reminded us why local news and community storytelling still matter. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, Round Rock continues to stand out for its heart, humor, and strong sense of connection.

To our readers: thank you for your curiosity, your trust, and your time. Every open, every click, and every reply helps shape the future of this publication and the stories we choose to tell.

To our local businesses and sponsors: thank you for investing in local visibility and community-first growth. Your support helps us highlight Round Rock events, local history, and the businesses that serve this city with care. When local businesses succeed, the entire Round Rock community benefits.

As we look ahead to the new year, our commitment remains the same: to publish meaningful local stories, support local businesses, and create a trusted place for Round Rock residents to stay informed and connected.

From our corner of Round Rock to yours, we wish you a joyful holiday season, a restful close to the year, and a bright beginning ahead.

With gratitude,

Glena Stephenson, publisher,
