Texas Standard for August 22, 2016
File under impeccable timing: On the first day of school for many across Texas, a ruling to stop a controversial bathroom policy.

We’ll explore the implications. Also: A stay of execution for a Texas death row inmate convicted of murder who never actually killed anyone. And: Life in South Texas, under the all-seeing eye. Exploring the border between security and 24/7 government surveillance – all that and more, on today’s Texas Standard:
