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. And: With rising murder rates in cities across Texas, we’re seeing the return of so called gun buyback programs. So how is it that high-powered arms are winding up on the streets of Texas cities? Alain Stephens has the result of our year-long investigation: Blowback. Also: Why, after more than two weeks, are federal investigators still in the dark over what actually happened in the death of an on-duty border patrol agent, and the wounding of his partner? Plus: The last Republicans and the next Texas speaker of the house. All of that and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
