Campos Brown began her career in 1974 as an intern and scholarship recipient with KGBT-TV in the Rio Grande Valley. She joined the station fulltime after graduation from Texas State. She worked there in a variety of positions before joining WFAA-TV in Dallas in 1984 as a general assignments reporter/public affairs program host.
