State of Texas - October 15, 2023

A plan to let parents use public funds to pay for private schools clears a key hurdle at the Capitol. But the biggest challenge is yet to come. Plus, a push to ban COVID vaccine mandates aims to prevent health care workers from being required to get the shot. And leaders of a powerful political PAC meet with a white nationalist who denies the Holocaust happened. Why that’s fueling tensions between two of the state's top leaders. 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.
