A ruling against Attorney General Ken Paxton fuels a campaign to oust three Republican judges on the state's highest criminal court. Plus, a former Texas lawmaker tries to win his way back to the Capitol. His comeback bid against a freshman lawmaker backed by Governor Abbott mirrors trends in campaigns across the state. A new state law is supposed to make tollway bills more transparent. But some drivers are still facing auto pay problems and sky-high surprise bills. The problems even hit one state lawmaker. As trucking companies look to expand use of self-driving big rigs, a central Texas highway makes improvements to become a testing ground for smart corridor technology. 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.
