The Item's presses also print two college newspapers, The Battalion of Texas A&M University, and The Houstonian of Sam Houston State University.[2]
Being located in Huntsville, the location of Texas' execution chamber, The Item is one of two news organizations that (by order of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) has a reserved spot to report on executions held in Texas (the Associated Press is the other).[3] The Huntsville Item is the only newspaper that reports on all executions in Texas regardless of the county of conviction.[4]
