On Monday's show: A court is set to hear evidence this week in a suit challenging new rules effectively banning most hemp-based consumable products in Texas. We learn what is at stake and discuss what it means that the Trump administration has eased some rules on medical marijuana.

Also this hour: We discuss plans to permanently close the Memorial City Ice Rink this summer and why some residents are trying to keep it open.

Then, from state takeovers, to displaying the Ten Commandments, a lot in public education news these days has something to do with increased engagement in local schools by the state of Texas. A group of local education reporters talk it over.

And we get an update on Houston sports.
