On Friday's Houston Matters: The new and highly-contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus may have sparked a recent COVID-19 outbreak earlier this month.

Also this hour: With recent discussions about teaching Critical Race Theory in Texas public schools, Casey Fleming, a teacher who taught it at a conservative Houston school, shares her experience. Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week. And actor Michael Rosenbaum talks about his career ahead of appearances this weekend at Comicpalooza.
