State of Texas - November 2, 2025

Is your economic situation better or worse than one year ago?  That's a key question from a new poll, and the answers show many Texans are worried.  We dig into the data and explore how attitudes on the economy could affect election season. A program meant to give minority and women-owned businesses a boost is now suspended by the State Comptroller.  Dylan McKim explores what's behind the move and who's pushing back. Our team takes a deeper dive into developments surrounding the new state law requiring schools to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms.  Investigator Kelly Wiley looks closer at who's behind many of the donations providing posters of the Commandments to Texas schools.  Nabil Remadna reports on how the court challenge to the law is creating a conundrum for school districts, where there are legal risks whether or not they follow the law. 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.
