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 activity in South Texas before moving to the Austin Metro. When I’m not covering the news, I am enjoying a good book, tending my garden, and hanging out with my pup. I’m a green thumb beginner so if you have all of the gardening tips I would love some.
Do you have a news tip or suggestion for an upcoming Austin Daily? Send me an email at meagan.falcon@patch.com. I encourage all of my neighbors to follow me on Twitter @meaganfalcon for local live coverage.
