State of Texas - July 6, 2025
Texas Democrats have a familiar face in the race for U.S. Senate, as Colin Allred kicks off his campaign for the seat currently held by John Cornyn. But some in Allred's party are skeptical about his chances. Capitol correspondent Adam Schwager interviews Terry Virts, a former astronaut and fighter pilot who's also in the race. He describes a different path for Democrats as the party aims to end a decades-long losing streak in Texas.
The state faces two lawsuits over its plan to place the Ten Commandments in Texas classrooms. Dylan McKim looks closer at the court challenge, and why some believe the legal battle is part of the point of the law.
When Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his run for Senate, candidates started lining up to take his job. We speak with Aaron Reitz, a former Paxton deputy who's now campaigning for Attorney General, and hear why he believes his work for Paxton and President Trump sets him up as the best candidate for the job.
Texas takes a new approach to make it harder for criminals to make fake temporary license plates. The change to color-coded metal plates comes after reports of fraud and abuse tied to fake paper plates. Investigator Matt Grant looks at what the change means for drivers and law enforcement.
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.
