State of Texas - June 7, 2026
A dangerous parasite targeting livestock has been detected in South Texas for the first time in decades, triggering a rapid response from state and federal officials. Dylan McKim reports on efforts to contain the spread, concerns from agriculture leaders about the federal strategy, and what's at stake for the state's cattle industry.
Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson is leaving her post just months before the November midterms. We break down what the role oversees, how her tenure drew criticism from both parties, and the questions surrounding timing and who Governor Abbott will appoint as her replacement.
A bipartisan effort led in part by Senator Ted Cruz aims to overhaul college athletics amid growing concerns about NIL deals, transfers, and revenue sharing. We look at what the proposed legislation would change — and why it's already facing resistance from major conferences and lawmakers.
As artificial intelligence reshapes the workforce, Congressman Greg Casar is proposing a new tax on AI companies to fund job training and employment programs. Adam Schwager examines the idea, the concerns about job loss driving it, and the pushback from industry voices and policy experts.
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.
