State of Texas - February 11, 2024

Governor Abbott leads two high-profile visits to Eagle Pass and promises to send more troops to the border. But some who live along the border are pushing back, saying the visits are more about political theater than purposeful policy. Documents reveal the multi-million dollar cost to bus migrants out of Texas. Who's paying and how does the cost compare to keeping migrants in the Lone Star State? Plus, bullying in school is a big concern for many Texas parents. Our investigation looks at why there's little state oversight when it comes to how schools handle discipline. 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.
