Texas Western Press
Texas Western Press of The University of Texas at El Paso was founded in 1952 by Carl Hertzog, an internationally renowned typographer, book designer and printer. His unique design signatures, like the distinctive Hertzog colophon, appeared in Texas Western Press publications until his death in 1984.
Texas Western Press has been known for publishing historical and biographical works about the art, culture and history of West Texas, New Mexico, northern Mexico, and the U.S. borderlands. Its popular Southwestern Studies monograph series covered topics as varied as the Mexican Revolution, the history of Prohibition in the borderlands, responses to the 1918 pandemic in Southwestern cities, and rodeo culture.
Texas Western Press is currently transitioning and is now part of the Division of Marketing and Communications. Texas Western Press falls under UTEP Press and will continue to publish Southwest-focused titles. UTEP Press will publish titles on a variety of academic and popular subjects.
