A Note from the Rio Grande Herald's former Ad Manager, Christian Salinas:
I have worked for the Rio Grande Herald since 2002 and like Mr. Roberts, I feel I owe it to Starr County to keep contributing to our growth in any way possible that is within my reach. It is with this goal in mind that I have decided to keep this website active, updating it regularly with as much useful information pertaining to Starr County as I am able to.
