What Cleburne Wire covers
How it works, where the news comes from, and how to reach us.
Cleburne Wire is an automated local news and information source for Cleburne, Texas. Stories update around the clock; a person reviews the system regularly, but no one hand-picks each story before it posts.

- Police & crime — arrests, incidents and court outcomes reported by law enforcement or news outlets
- Roads & weather — closures, alerts and daily forecasts
- Schools & sports — Cleburne ISD board actions, Yellow Jackets scores and schedules
- Obituaries — pulled daily from area funeral homes and Legacy.com
- Events & the Weekend Guide — what's happening around town, published every Thursday

- Homes & Money — mortgage rates, real estate agents, lenders and car dealers
Where it comes from
Stories are pulled from public sources — the City of Cleburne, Cleburne ISD, Johnson County, local funeral homes, MaxPreps, and news coverage from outlets like KWTX, WFAA, FOX 4, NBC 5, CBS News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. For most stories, Cleburne Wire writes its own short, original summary or brief and always links to the original source for the full story. We do not republish anyone else's articles in full.
How it's built
Cleburne Wire is run by an automated pipeline built with Claude (Anthropic's AI): it checks sources every 15 minutes, writes summaries, and screens out anything not actually about Cleburne. Mistakes happen — wrong place, duplicate story, bad date. If you spot one, tell us and it gets fixed.
