On Thursday's show: Two bookstores in Texas are suing over a new Texas law that requires them to rate books on their appropriateness and prohibits "sexually explicit" material from libraries. One of those booksellers is Houston's Blue Willow Bookshop. Its owner, Valerie Koehler, joins us to explain her concerns about the law.

Also this hour: App permissions, cameras and microphones, scanned payments – there’s so much of day-to-day life in Houston that’s built on digital information about us.
