Woodlands Annexation Ends With A $50M Deal

Houston news doesn’t slow down just because it’s Friday, and neither do we. We start with a real-world invite to get off the sidelines: our first 2A Tuesdays happy hour mixer at Collector’s Firearms, including a live broadcast, giveaways, and a chance to meet Houston’s Second Amendment community. If weekends never work for you, this is the kind of local event calendar that actually fits normal life. Then we dig into the political stories shaping Texas right now. We talk about a South Texas candidate connected to a May Day style march and what that signals about Democratic Socialists of America influence beyond raw membership numbers. From there we break down the Houston City Council vote that permanently rules out Woodlands annexation in exchange for about $50 million, including why Mayor John Whitmire says the city needs the money and why Controller Chris Hollins says the math favors the long game. We also cover federal officials asking a judge to seal an ICE document after it surfaced in a public court record tied to a deadly Houston pursuit, and we unpack the tension between transparency and protecting agents from doxxing and harassment. In the second hour, the focus shifts to Texas education standards and parental authority, including why SB 12 still leaves families asking what real enforcement looks like when schools or agencies cross the line.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
