Sorry The Maverick Grotto flopped, there were a lot of articles that started there and ended up in The Caver. Same thing with the DFW Oztotl years ago. I can't do the things I did back then so don't get out to write articles. Surely there's someone out there with an ego that likes to see their name in print.

In the past, grotto newsletters were usually very local in scope and not of general interest to cavers elsewhere. There might also be reports on things like vertical practice or a survey class. When there were enough (were there ever really enough?) articles on original exploration or project and expedition reports in Texas Caver, even sport trip reports could be safely relegated to grotto newsletters. However in the present situation with few articles available, it might make sense to submit all trip reports to both the local newsletter and Texas Caver.
