State of Texas - June 21, 2026
A major plan to expand Texas' power grid is now on pause after regulators delayed a decision on a controversial transmission line project in West Texas. Eric Henrikson breaks down the pushback from landowners, concerns from lawmakers about the rushed timeline, and the unresolved question of whether large-scale power imports are necessary to meet future demand.
State investigators have released their final report on the deadly flood at Camp Mystic, outlining a series of failures that contributed to the deaths of 25 girls and two counselors. Kevin Baskar reports on how lawmakers are now reviewing the findings and considering what changes are needed to prevent another tragedy.
Texas Republicans are turning their focus to November after a high-profile state convention that highlighted key divisions and priorities. We look at platform debates, messaging from party leaders, and the challenge of unifying the party behind its candidates heading into the general election.
Lawmakers are weighing competing approaches to stopping the spread of the New World screwworm, as concerns grow about its impact on Texas agriculture. We examine the ongoing debate over how best to scale up sterile fly production and new proposals pitching alternative methods.
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.
