Amalia Weigandt, Staff Writer, Texas Herald News. Amalia covers public safety, courts and breaking news across Texas for Texas Herald News, with a focus on Houston and the surrounding counties, including Harris, Montgomery, Galveston, Fort Bend and Brazoria. Her reporting follows cases from arrest through indictment and sentencing, including cold cases solved through DNA evidence, fraud prosecutions and crashes with criminal charges. Amalia’s reporting draws on law enforcement statements, court records, district attorney filings and Texas Department of Public Safety reports. She links to original sources where available and follows up as cases move through the courts. Right after high school, Amalia started working with her older brother, who is a reporter. At first, she handled some of the research, but she eventually began writing her own content. She is based in Houston, Texas. Contact: amalia.weigandt@texasheraldnews.com.
