Houston’s anthem (Sept. 14, 2026)

On Monday's show: The Texas Supreme Court blocked Galveston County from using a new precinct map in the November election. And Fort Bend County approved its budget and a lower tax rate amid a heated meeting as Democrats returned to court last week. We get updates on both stories from Houston Public Media reporters.

Also this hour: On the anniversary of Francis Scott Key writing the words that would become the lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner, we ask what words you would want included, what themes, concepts, characters, places and events you’d add to an anthem about Houston?

Then, we get some advice on gardening in Houston.

And we recap the Texans' season-opening loss to the Bills and check in on the Astros.
