Alex Jones was born in Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in the suburb of Rockwall, Texas. He began his career in Austin with a live, call-in format cable access television program. In 1996, Jones switched format to KJFK, hosting a show named The Final Edition. In 1997, he released his first documentary film, America Destroyed By Design.
That same year he could be heard broadcasting as "The Alex Jones Show" on Republic Radio, which has since been renamed Genesis Communications Network. Jones is still on WWCR Nashville shortwave and www.GCNlive.com, and broadcasts live on several AM radio stations across the US, from 11am - 2pm CST. He appears on prisonplanet.tv with regular reports, as well as his Austin access TV show.

In 1999, he won that year's "Best of Austin" poll as radio host, voted by Austin Chronicle readers. Later that year, he was fired from KJFK-FM. According to the station's operations manager Jones was fired because his viewpoints made the show hard to sell to advertisers and he refused to broaden his topics. Jones argued: "It was purely political, and it came down from on high", and, "I was told 11 weeks ago to lay off Clinton, to lay off all these politicians, to not talk about rebuilding the church, to stop bashing the Marines, A to Z."

In 2000, Jones and assistant Mike Hanson infiltrated the Bohemian Club and filmed the opening weekend ceremony, known as the Cremation of Care, which he says has Druidic and Pagan backgrounds. His footage can be viewed in his documentary "Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove." A different - and less conspiratorial - interpretation of the ceremony was reported by their fellow trespasser, the British journalist Jon Ronson in his book Them: Adventures with Extremists and documentary series Secret Rulers of the World.

On July 1, 2002, Jones started the Save The Bill of Rights Campaign to repeal the Patriot Act. Further in 2002, Jones released 9-11: The Road to Tyranny. In 2005, he released another film, Martial Law: 9/11 Rise of the Police State.
On June 8, 2006, Jones was stopped and detained at the Canadian border while on his way to cover a meeting of the Bilderberg group in Ottawa. Jones has appeared in two Richard Linklater movies as an actor, Waking Life (2001) and A Scanner Darkly (2006).
