 Comptroller Change – Political maneuvering helps now-former State Senator Kelly Hancock on the verge of becoming the state's acting Comptroller.  Adam Schwager speaks with Hancock, as well as the two high-profile Republicans who are vying for votes in next year's race to lead the office.

 Nuclear Waste Decision – A Supreme Court decision revives plans to store nuclear waste in west Texas.  Vinay Simlot examines concerns about what comes next after the ruling.  Plus, we look at the larger landscape of nuclear power in Texas, as the state pushes to lead the nation in nuclear energy investments.
 Promises Kept – Governor Abbott signs legislation tied to two of his emergency items.  But the bill signings are just one step toward making the measures reality.  We look closer at the push to cut property taxes and the move to improve the state's water infrastructure, and why Texas voters still need to give their approval.
 Fit to Serve? – Texas Senator John Cornyn helps lead a hearing into what he claims was a coordinated cover up of President Joe Biden's health while he was in office.  We hear from the Senator about the hearing, which happened one day before the former President came to Texas for a Juneteenth celebration.
 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.
