He has also overseen expert witness reports on national magazines, including the Ladies' Home Journal and Sun World. Garlock has frequently been called upon to perform audits on magazines like Texas Highways, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and AAA Journey.

At the University of Texas, Garlock developed an innovative semester-long Magazine Management course that requires undergraduates to prepare individual comprehensive business plans to launch a magazine of their choice. Hearst Corp., a renowned media establishment, judges the students' projects.

The university's campus magazine, ORANGE, began in one of Garlock's magazine management classes where students created the business plan that made the magazine possible. Garlock continues to serve as faculty advisor for ORANGE.

Garlock is a recipient of the 1993-94 Teaching Excellence Award for the College of Communication at the University of Texas.
