The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News:

Texas could lose big if it pursues policies that curtail the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. That’s the message from a study commissioned by the Texas Association of Business, the state’s chamber of commerce.

As KERA’s Christopher Connelly reports, the study comes as fights over LGBT rights are brewing in Austin ahead of the next legislative session.

Other stories this afternoon:

  • KERA’s series One Crisis Away: Rebuilding A Life is following four families on the financial edge still struggling to get past last year’s Christmas weekend tornadoes. It took 10 long months to put Alfredo and Anthony Fowler-Rainone’s home back together. Now they’ve moved back in, but as KERA’s Courtney Collins reports, they barely recognize their neighborhood—even a year later.
