State of Texas - August 20, 2023

Documents reveal new details in the case against suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton. From burner phones to a fake Uber account name, what we’re learning about evidence that could be presented in the case. Plus, prisoners dying behind bars amid a Texas heatwave leads families to push state leaders for change. But the state says the deaths are not heat-related. We look closer at the data. And we speak with Will Hurd, the only Texas republican in the race for President. Why he thinks refusing to support Donald Trump helps his campaign for the GOP nomination. 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.
