'The Journal of South Texas English Studies was created by the UTB/TSC English Graduate Advancement and Development Society (EGADS!) in March 2009. It provides a local, blind-peer-reviewed outlet for the academic study of English literature and rhetoric. The journal's primary purpose is to serve UTB/TSC students and faculty, but it is open to all submissions. The journal is produced twice each year and is a collaborative effort between EGADS! and the UTB/TSC English Department.' (Source: http://southtexasenglish.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html )
