Texas Standard For December 4, 2017
The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear a Texas case on employer benefits for same-sex couples. But what does this mean? We’ll have the latest.

Plus: The last Republicans and the next Texas speaker of the house. All of that and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
