Here is what Nielsen posted on social:
"Well, 6 years, countless memories and hundreds of stories later, you will no longer see me on CBS News Texas.
A lot has changed in my life in the past year, and it is time for a new adventure.
Thank you DFW for allowing me inside your homes and for trusting me with your stories. It was the honor of a lifetime, and I leave this job extremely proud. Onto the next chapter."
Nielsen joined the CBS 11 news team in June 2020.
