On Thursday's show: The U.S. House passed a bill that would provide $1.5 billion to states for wildlife conservation, including $50 million for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. We learn how it might affect Greater Houston.

Also: The U.S. Supreme Court sided with El Paso’s Tigua tribe in their decades-long fight with the state over gambling.

Also this hour: New York Times correspondent Jonathan Martin talks about the book he co-authored with Alexander Burns called This Will Not Pass.
