Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's rise to become one of the most powerful politicians in Texas followed an unlikely path, from sports radio host to successfully pushing a conservative agenda in the Texas Senate.

Lt. Gov Dan Patrick said he's not worried about Gov. Greg Abbott vetoing a ban on all THC products, despite the governor remaining largely tight-lipped about what he would do once the legislation gets to his desk.

An Austin business owner said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick "blatantly lied" when he used one of his products to push for a ban on THC-infused foods and drinks.

Texas has found a way to prohibit minors from legally buying alcohol and cigarettes without banning the products entirely. That's why I asked Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Wednesday at a press conference if there is a way he could better protect children from the dangers he says THC products pose without prohibiting every grown adult in Texas from having access to the products - as he has been pushing all session.

After Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick openly attacked hemp businesses in the state and the products they sell, one company is doubling down by dishing out discounts.

Dan Patrick has seamlessly blended show-business flair into his political career with captivating performances to champion conservative causes.

Patrick went on the offensive at a Wednesday news conference after a question from Houston Chronicle reporter Jeremy Wallace. Wallace asked him if there is a way to better protect children from the dangers Patrick says THC products pose without prohibiting every grown adult in Texas from accessing them.
