State of Texas - April 19, 2026
Emotions ran high during a tense court hearing over the future of Camp Mystic, as camp leaders testified and families pressed allegations tied to last summer's deadly floods. Dylan McKim and Adam Schwager report as lawmakers prepare to visit the site amid ongoing lawsuits, a contested injunction, and an unresolved licensing decision that could determine whether the camp reopens this summer.
Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales has resigned following reporting on allegations of sexual misconduct involving a former staffer. Josh speaks with journalist Bayliss Wagner about how the story came to light, why more could still emerge, and whether the scandal opens a real opportunity for Democrats to flip the South Texas seat.
As death investigations rise, Williamson County is weighing new options for handling autopsies and forensic work. Arezow Doost examines why justices of the peace are struggling to keep up, what it would take to establish a medical examiner's office, and how lawmakers are revisiting statewide policies that critics say are long overdue for modernization.
Resistance is growing in rural Texas over the rapid expansion of large‑scale data centers, with concerns including strain on the electric grid and water use. Dylan McKim looks at how local leaders are pressing lawmakers for oversight and why one state representative is now urging the governor to call a special session on the issue.
State of Texas is a statewide, in-depth program focused solely on Texas politics. Produced at KXAN in Austin and airing in 14 markets across the state, the show gives viewers greater perspective on the Texas Legislature, state policy and elections.
