State of Texas - October 12, 2025
There's a big change in the race for U.S. Senate, as Congressman Wesley Hunt joins an already heated Republican primary. Capitol Correspondent Adam Schwager looks into how Hunt's campaign is already changing the equation for Republicans. Plus, we dig into polling that shows how someone who's not in the race could shake things up for Democrats.
A court blocks the execution of Robert Roberson. It comes as the Death Row inmate is receiving renewed bipartisan support from lawmakers in his calls for a new trial. But others are pushing back. Dylan McKim looks closer at the case.
The legal battle over deploying Texas National Guard troops to Illinois continues to evolve. Amid the debate, we look at the bigger picture of how deployments get authorized, and what makes this latest mission different.
Plus, a start-up company could give homeowners a new way to keep the lights on when the electric grid has power problems. Science reporter Eric Henrikson gives us an inside look at the operation and explores how they aim to provide savings and peace of mind for customers.
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.
