Where to find book publishers in texas?

[benbaker]

I’ve been researching how new authors can publish their first book, and I keep seeing different options mentioned for book publishers in texas. It seems like there are traditional publishers, hybrid options, and independent services, but it’s hard to know which direction is best. I’m curious what others think. What factors should a beginner focus on when choosing a publishing path in Texas—cost, support, or reach to readers?
