Texas Standard For August 8, 2018
A previous version of this story referred to long lines at the DMV, not DPS.
A bunch of attorneys shined up their shoes this morning, they’re heading to court to for Texas v Nielsen, we’ll look at the details. And: Houston cops are learning to speak Mandarin, hoping to fill a huge void. Also: I know you’ve heard about Mexico’s drug war, but you’ve never heard it this way? A new book called “Don’t Send Flowers” from Corpus Christi. Plus: A woman on a quest to hear what it means to live in a black body. And, Eight hour lines at DPS? Weren’t super centers supposed to fix those? Those stories and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
