On today’s Hello Houston, we are joined by Harris County Precinct 6 Constable Silvia Trevino in the first hour of the show, who talks to us about holiday shopping safety and the threat of porch pirates during the holiday season.

Also, in the show’s first hour, engineer Dale Link joins us to explain how he comes up with his hurricane landfall predictions, as well as his forecast for the upcoming 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

In the second hour of the show, we discuss the legacy of former Houston ISD superintendent and U.S. Secretary of Education, Rod Paige, following his passing yesterday morning, with his former press secretary, Terry Abbott.

Then, we break down the latest Houston housing numbers and what they all mean for homeowners and buyers, with Kat Robinson, Vice Chair of the Houston Association of Realtors.

Plus, local actors Brandon Hearnsberger, Adam Gibbs, and Dylan Godwin join us to tell us about the Alley Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol and how they feel about being a part of a Houston tradition.

And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including a proposed bill that would require fathers to provide financial support for pregnant mothers, applications opening for Houston ISD's school choice program for the 2026-27 school year, and actor Dick Van Dyke turning 100.
