Description

New polling shows the Republican runoff between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton within the margin of error, with early voting set to begin in just days. Adam Schwager breaks down how both candidates are positioning themselves as they await a potential endorsement from Donald Trump — and how that decision could still shape the outcome of the race. Texas is temporarily backing off a controversial requirement that would have forced camps to install fiber optic connections ahead of this summer's season. Dylan McKim explains how the change came after pushback and legal pressure from camp operators, and what it means for licensing and safety oversight moving forward. An Austin-area high school community is rallying around a senior detained by ICE just weeks before graduation. Kelly Wiley reports on the case, the broader impact of expanding immigration enforcement agreements, and how similar situations are affecting students and families across Texas. Thousands of Texans say they were misled by solar panel contracts that failed to deliver promised savings, leaving some locked into costly long‑term agreements. Investigator Arezow Doost examines the growing number of complaints, ongoing investigations, and new legislative efforts aimed at cracking down on deceptive sales practices. A $30 million private-sector investment aims to train thousands of new electricians across Texas as demand surges from data centers and population growth. Adam Schwager reports on how the program will expand training capacity at technical schools and help address a growing workforce shortage that's already delaying major projects. 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.
