The Aledo Ledger is a free morning newsletter and public-records site for the Aledo ISD footprint: Aledo, Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, the Annettas and Walsh. It launched Sept. 4, 2026. Every entry links to the record it came from; sponsors are labeled and never touch the editorial side.

The audience

~12,500
Households in the Aledo ISD footprint (Ledger estimate from enrollment and census data)
1,900
New households a year through 2031, per the district's demographer
17,564

$1.06B
City of Aledo taxable value, 2026, including $41 million in new improvements

Reader counts and open rates are reported to sponsors monthly from the email platform; the Ledger publishes its own numbers rather than estimates once there are three months of data.

The product

  • Email editions two or three mornings a week, plus a Saturday Bearcats edition in football season.
  • The Growth Ledger: the weekly record of permits, plats, tax rates and business filings.
  • Tools readers share: the 2026 tax-bill estimator, the phone calendar of every meeting and game, the newcomer guide.
  • The data archive: 100-plus public sources, each verified and linked.

What sponsors get, and don't

  • Placement in every edition, a monthly reach report, and a named line on the sponsors page.
  • No editorial say and no preview. Sponsors never see an entry before it runs.
  • No reader data. The list is never shared or sold.
  • Plain labeling. Every sponsored placement says so.
