On Monday's show: Fort Bend County commissioners voted last week to strip funding and staff from the office of elected County Attorney Bridgette Smith-Lawson, creating a new civil legal department under the court's own control. We learn what it could mean for the county and its residents.

Also this hour: A tropical disturbance in the Gulf could develop into a tropical depression -- or even a tropical storm -- by Tuesday, the National Weather Service predicts, with several inches of rain falling in southeast Texas. We get the latest information on how it might affect Greater Houston.

Then, during his visit to Johnson Space Center last week, President Trump signed an executive order to get the ball rolling on a U.S. Space Academy. We learn what it would do and consider whether the announcement signals an intent to place it here in Space City. And we reflect on how the often-overlooked Gemini missions won the space race.

Plus, we discuss hair loss, hair changes, and signs of a need for medical attention with Dr. Oyetewa Asempa from Align Dermatology.

And we preview the Texans season with Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.
