On Tuesday's show: A federal trial underway this week could force Texas to air condition its prisons, where temperatures routinely top 90 degrees and inmates have died from the heat. Reporter Bayliss Wagner provides details.

Also this hour: We talk about science fairs and how they can potentially influence the careers of their student participants.

Then, while the weather in Houston has been pretty nice lately, we all know heat is coming. And that means running our air conditioners more. So, how can you make sure your A/C unit isn’t fighting for its life? A local HVAC contractor offers some general tips to keep your system running smoothly.

And we learn how Tuffly Park was renamed after beloved local coach.
