State of Texas - April 26, 2026
The Justice Department's move to reclassify medical marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug marks a major federal policy shift with potential ripple effects in Texas. Dylan McKim breaks down what the change means for research and public health, what stays the same, and why some experts warn the move opens the door to profit‑driven expansion without enough safeguards.
School districts across Texas are spending tens of thousands of dollars fighting lawsuits brought by the attorney general's office, even as many face mounting budget crises. Investigator Kelly Wiley examines the growing volume of litigation, the culture‑war issues driving these cases, and how legal costs are forcing districts to weigh classroom needs against court battles.
The legal fight over in‑state tuition for undocumented students is heading back to court, with June arguments scheduled at the Fifth Circuit. Adam Schwager reports on how student organizations are joining the case, what's at stake for current and future college students, and how a 25‑year‑old Texas law could ultimately end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
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.
