Texas Standard for July 17, 2015
The death of Sandra Bland in a Texas county jail: What started as a traffic stop is now a federal investigation and national concern.

We’ll have the latest. Also: The streets are clean, the traffic’s low, and the city’s coffers are overflowing – it’s the Texas farm economy. Server farms, that is. And: Could you pass Texas’ new GED? All that and more, on the Standard.
