This Week in Texas: Venezuela fallout, improving political dialogue

On the latest episode of This Week in Texas, ABC13 takes a hard look at the developments in Venezuela and what they could mean for southeast Texas.

Our political insiders, Court Koenning and Angel Carroll, offer their perspectives, and they weigh in on the largest teachers’ union in the state suing the Texas Education Agency over what they claim are violations of their constitutional rights.

Also, ABC13 sits down with a pair of city council members and a chief of staff to discuss political dialogue and their efforts to find common ground amid sometimes-toxic debate. All of that, plus a conversation with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico as he launches his first television ad to increase his name recognition across the state.
