The State of Texas

The Texas Solution

Turning Muslim in Texas

Texas Teenage Virgins

Channel 4's series of programmes about the home state of President George W Bush - the Lone Star State of Texas.

Texas Teenage Virgins travels deep into the Bible Belt to meet the Texas teenagers who have taken purity pledges, promising to remain virgins until they get married. How hard is it for them to resist temptation, and what are the consequences if they don't?

Under Governor George Bush, crime rates halved in Texas. The Texas Solution journeys through the Lone Star justice system to find out whether Britain could learn something from this zero tolerance approach to law and order.

In The State of Texas, controversial polemicist Christopher Hitchens goes in search of the heart, mind and spirit of Texas. This Republican state has massive power and wealth, but does its veneer of self-confidence hide a deep insecurity?

America's Fattest City asks why the state of Texas produces the fattest people in the fattest country in the world, and looks at the medical and financial implications of the widespread obesity in cities such as Houston.

Finally, Turning Muslim in Texas examines an unexpected new phenomenon in modern Texas - conservative white Americans who are abandoning their strict Christian upbringing and converting to Islam.
