Copyright, takedowns and opt-out

If you are a publisher, photographer or reporter and you want something removed, credited differently, or stopped altogether, email editor@nexcom.media. You do not need a lawyer or a formal notice, and we will not ask you to justify the request.

What we publish

The Houston publishes short attributed items about reporting done by other outlets, and links back to them. For many short items, the text we display is the outlet’s own feed summary rather than something we wrote. We do not republish full articles, and we do not host, copy, cache or serve third-party photographs — image references redirect to the publisher’s own server.

What we do not claim

We do not claim copyright in, and do not license, reporting or photographs we did not create. Any Creative Commons offer on this site covers only text we actually wrote and our own structured data.

What we will do, on request

Remove a specific summary or image.
Correct attribution, a byline, or a source link.
Replace a syndicated link with a direct link to your article.
Stop entirely — we will remove your outlet from our monitored sources so no future items are drawn from it, and remove existing ones if you ask.

We aim to act within two business days of a request reaching editor@nexcom.media. Removals are permanent unless you tell us otherwise.

Access controls

If your site blocks automated access, disallows it in robots.txt, or its terms forbid reuse, that ends ingest for your outlet. We do not attempt to work around bot challenges, CAPTCHAs, or paywalls.

Corrections

Factual errors are handled through our public corrections log. Rights requests are handled here and are not published unless you ask us to record them.
