This film from KHOU-TV Channel 11 in Houston contains a series of short news segments that would have aired as highlights to news stories. Many are silent and would have been voiced over by the anchorperson during a live broadcast. The titles for each segment are the originals created by KHOU-TV. The clips on this reel all date from the spring of 1962. This series includes news segments about various criminal and civil court cases, including the City of Houston v. Melton, as well as interviews with State Senator Robert Baker, State Representative Paul Floyd, and Congressman Bob Casey.

The digital preservation of this collection was made possible by a grant to the Texas Archive of the Moving Image and the Houston Public Library from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Many more films from the KHOU-TV Collection are available on the Houston Public Library Houston Area Digital Archives website.
