Texas Standard For April 3, 2019
Just two weeks after the petrochemical disaster in Deer Park, another chemical fire at a plant outside of Houston: this one deadly. We’ll have the latest.

Also: A warning about a quarter of Texas’ dams, we’ll take a look. Plus: They call it the Rio Grande Valley, but where are the mountains? Our commentator, W.F. Strong on an etymological mystery and a whole lot more today on the Texas Standard:
