Courtney Carpenter joins abc13 KTRK
Here is part of what Carpenter posted on her Facebook page:
"My last day at CW39 was earlier this month.
I’m so grateful for the experience & the friends I made while working there! I’m not sure what’s next for me on the job front, but I know it will all work out in the Lord’s timing - it always does!
Thank you all for following along! I know some of you have been since my days reporting in Abilene & College Station."

CW39 Houston has been quickly making big changes
Carpenter came to channel 39 Houston in 2018 for the debut of the new local version of "Morning Dose" from KBTX Bryan - College Station. She had worked in BCS television news since 2016 as channel 3's morning newscast feature reporter.
She started her career at KRBC Abilene as a multi-media journalist (MMJ).
The Monroe, Louisiana native, who grew up in Springdale, Arkansas, graduated from Dallas Baptist University on a golf scholarship.
That experience led Carpenter to intern with CBS Sports and travel with the PGA Tour.
Carpenter's departure happened just before the arrival of a new meteorologist.
As I posted earlier, meteorologist Carrigan Chauvin debuted on the CW39 morning newscast Christmas Day.
Chauvin comes to Houston from KJRH 2 Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Commenters on my Facebook page were asking who Chauvin is replacing.
I don't think she is replacing anyone. Chauvin is filling a new, second meteorologist spot for channel 39 along with Adam Krueger who arrived at KIAH from Spectrum News a few months ago.
