Your friendly neighborhood journalist,

Meagan Falcon
Meagan covers local news for Patch in downtown Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander and Pflugerville.

About Meagan: I was born and raised in Corpus Christi and spent three years covering breaking news and things to do in South Texas before I moved to the Austin Metro. When I am not reporting the news, I am enjoying a good book, tending to my garden and spending time with my pup. I am a green thumb novice so if y'all have gardening tips, I would love some.

Have a news tip or suggestion for an upcoming Austin Daily? Email me at meagan.falcon@patch.com. I encourage all neighbors to follow me on Twitter @meaganfalcon for live local news coverage.
