The Texas Country Register

SERVICES

The Country Register of Texas was designed to be a major link in connecting interested customers with all of the following: Specialty Gift Shops including Home and Garden Decor, old-fashioned Country and Victorian shops as well as what is considered Modern Country furniture and accessories, antiques and collectibles, tea shops and tea rooms, the quilting and needlework industry, and various current crafts such as stamping, scrapbooking, paper arts and beading as well as special services and bed and breakfasts in the state of Texas.

The publication is full of stories and useful information for readers interested in the various shopping possibilities and activities going on locally.

The Country Register gives shop owners a place to promote, inform and even try out their writing skills if they so desire.

The Country Register newspaper makes a handy 'carry it with you kind of guide' and it's layout makes for the need of less maps. It guides the reader according to areas of the state and within a city as well as putting special shows and events into their own section.

It is also available at several visitor centers (including Texas welcome centers at border-entry points) and chamber offices where adverisers are located.
