Texas Standard For February 12, 2018
A group of Texas voters are challenging how the state elects judges to its highest courts. We’ll explore why they say the system hurts Latino candidates. And: It seems the battle for control of the Alamo is far from over. We’ll explore some criticism of how the restoration of the mission is being handled. Also: Texas dairy production is on the rise. One major reason is a shift in where in the state the cows are living. Plus: The stewards of a Gulf of Mexico marine sanctuary are trying to expand its protected area. What that would mean for the fishing and off-shore drilling industries. And we’ll break down a study that found Houston isn’t doing enough to make apartment living safe in the city. All that and more on today’s Texas Standard:
