Hello Houston (January 6, 2026)

On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by former FBI agent and federal prosecutor Tony Box, a first-time candidate running to be the democratic nominee for Texas Attorney General, who tells us about his platform and why he decided to run.

Then, Ernie and Celeste share a rundown of predictions they have for the new year for Hello Houston’s 2026 Bingo Card.

In the second hour of the show, author Linda Dodge joins us to discuss her new book A Museum is Born: How the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Came to Be, as well as tell us more about the museum's history and why its story still resonates today.

Plus, we find out how we can manage our New Year’s resolutions and follow through on our self-improvement goals with Durrell Douglas, director of TEDxThirdWard.

And, as always, Ernie and Celeste talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the criminal trial of former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales, the non-displaying of a plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, and more.
