Listen "State of Texas - November 17, 2024"
Episode Synopsis
Lawmakers filed a record number of bills on the first day of filing for the next legislative session. But a big question remains: who will lead the Texas House. Former Governor Rick Perry is working to help Dade Phelan keep the gavel. Ryan Chandler speaks with Perry about why he's weighing in and making the case for bipartisan cooperation at the Capitol.
House lawmakers pushed to block a Death Row inmate's execution. Now, the Texas Supreme Court says they went too far in their effort to save Robert Roberson. We discuss the decision and see why even though the court ruled against the lawmakers, they could still get what they wanted.
As Texas grows, counties are looking to acquire land to keep up with traffic and other needs. So what should you do if they come for your property? Mercedez Hernandez investigates how eminent domain is affecting property owners, and why state legislators are now taking a closer look at the law.
A daughter heads to Washington to continue her mother's work. How the state's newest Congresswoman is honoring a decades long legacy over a short period of time.
