State of Texas - March 30, 2025
Legislation to require Texas sheriffs to participate in federal immigration enforcement moves closer to a vote at the Capitol. The legislation has raised concern about the effect on immigrant communities, as well as questions about the cost for local law enforcement. Josh Hinkle speaks one-on-one with bill author, Sen. Charles Schwertner about how he's answering criticism of the bill.
Questions to an insurance CEO turned tense at a hearing of the Texas House DOGE committee. The chairman revealed emails showing the CEO had asked private investigators to gather information on customers – and lawmakers. Nabil Remadna reports on how the accusations brought heated questions and led to an investigation by the Office of Attorney General.
Only 14 counties in Texas have medical examiners, which critics say points to an outdated death investigation system. Josh Hinkle reports on how a bill up for consideration at the Capitol could bring change, and more medical examiners in more counties
Many Texas prisons do not have air conditioning, and now a judge is siding with prisoners who say those conditions are unconstitutional. We look at why the judge did not order the state to immediately fix the problem.
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.
