LBJ Express/Facebook
Portions of I-635E will be closed on Friday night.

Local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: A former Kaufman County Justice of the Peace was convicted of capital murder today. Also, road closures are in store for parts of I-635 and the pre-kindergarten debate continues in an education summit in Fort Worth.

Finally, how would you like The Nutcracker served? North Texas has twenty different productions of the ballet in store for the season, and Jerome Weeks explores why.

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
