The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: From talk of secession to a call for re-writing the U.S. Constitution, Friday’s Texas Republican Convention made one thing very clear. Many of those who support the GOP in the Lone Star State have a testy relationship with the federal government.

Other stories this afternoon: Skyrocketing auction prices can cause sticker shock for museums. Last Friday night at the Kimbell Art Museum, the directors of Fort Worth’s three major art museums offered a glimpse into the hot art market.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
