Information we publish

We work to keep our listings, guides, events and articles accurate, but businesses change their hours, prices, menus and locations, and organizers change or cancel events, often without telling us. Everything we publish is provided "as is," for general information only, and may be out of date or incorrect. Always confirm details directly with the business or organizer. To the extent permitted by law, The Houston Rundown is not responsible for any loss or inconvenience that comes from relying on information we publish, including information provided by businesses, organizers or other third parties. A listing or mention is not an endorsement. If you find an error, contact us and we'll correct it.

Our content

The stories, guides, and photos we create belong to The Houston Rundown. Photos provided by businesses remain theirs and are credited. You're welcome to share our links; please don't republish our content in full without permission.

Sponsors and featured businesses

Some content may be sponsored by local businesses. When a business pays to be featured, we will say so. Featuring a business is not a guarantee of its products or services.
