State of Texas - June 16, 2024

State Senators look closer at the billions of dollars put toward securing the border. One question: how long can we do this? Plus, Senate candidate Colin Allred lays out his vision for a bipartisan approach to border security. And as Congress prepares for big decisions on defense and foreign aid, we talk with House Foreign Affairs chairman Michael McCaul about what's at stake. Texas lawmakers get news that demand on the power grid is rising faster than expected, with crypto and A-I getting much of the blame. And a Texas law toughened penalties when people get hurt or killed in a crosswalk. But it's not always enforced. Now, a new case could signal a change. 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.
