while the conservatives say that it is too liberal so I would say that it slightly to the right of center (this is Texas after all). Dallas County has voted for Democrats lately so they have moved more into that direction than what it was in the 80s and 90s. The alternative papers like the Dallas Observer, Houston Press and Austin Chronicle tend to fill the left side of the spectrum.
