The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom:

A lawsuit filed in Dallas today is making headlines across the country.  Nina Pham was one of two nurses who contracted Ebola after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man treated for Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas. Pham says the hospital failed her, so she’s decided to file suit.

Texas Standard has launched. The statewide program covers all things Texas and is co-produced by public radio stations around the state, including KERA.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
