Texas to host midterm GOP convention in Sept. | Abbott’s mega flip flop | Talarico tales – Pratt on Texas 7/1/2026

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: A midterm election Republican National Convention, really a rally, is coming to the American Airlines Center in Dallas on 9 and 10 September. A “Trumpapalooza” it is being called.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
