Times Record News is a daily newspaper based in Wichita Falls, Texas, US since 1907. It is owned by the newspaper group, The E.W. Scripps Company.

From 1976 the newspaper was part of Harte-Hanks Newspapers. Scripps began operating the newspaper in 1997 after they bought it from Harte-Hanks.

A "GOSS COSMO-OFFSET" Printing Press (Which runs off roughly 9,000 papers an hour) with the nightly paper circulation ranging from 28,000 up to 34,000 is used to print the newspaper. Additional wrappers are run off during the day for select packages which are 2 to 3 a week.

The Times Record News also uses two of the oldest remaining circular rotational pattern insert machines of any newspaper in the country (both of them are run primarily from air and vacuum lines). Each machine is manufactured by HARRIS, and is capable of a maximum of 10,000 inserted papers produced in any given hour, however usually both insert approximately 7,000 papers per hour.

The mailroom itself has 1 remaining QUIPP Series 300 Counter stacker still in use and has recently acquired 2 new QUIPP Series 500 Counter stackers. Also in use are 2 fairly new QUIPP VIPER Series automatic bundelers.

Normally weekly packages which are run are the Comics, Big 5, and full insert set for the Tuesday night press run, with slight variations from week to week.

The Times Record News is also the publisher of the Sheppard Senator, the local newspaper serving the military stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls (the paper's title reflects the base's namesake, a former United States Senator).
