For the past couple of months, our team has been busy researching and reporting for our new season, which kicks off next week on Aug. 17.

So what can you expect from Season 5 of KSAT Explains?

In the first few episodes, we’ll team up with the KSAT 12 Defenders to dive deep into the state’s power grid, the foster care system and the debate over clearing homeless encampments.

Are you still unclear about exactly what went wrong during February’s winter storm? Do you have questions about why our foster care system seems so broken? Are you curious about the state’s recent ban on tent cities and how it’ll affect the people who live in them? We’ll answer these questions in our first few episodes.

We’re also always looking for more issues to break down. What do you want explained? What major South Texas story do you think needs more context?
