7:54A Boca Chica Beach question brings up discussions with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
8:27Asked about Abbott's cooperation, Hinojosa says she has had one call and their teams have been speaking.

Ryan Pollock introduces himself as a union electrician. Ernest Bailes calls himself a conservative Republican. Both stand alongside Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa as she begins explaining how her administration will take shape.

The press conference is FOX 26 Houston's most-watched upload of the week, and its busiest video for views right now. Hinojosa names Pollock, former Republican representative Bailes, Tamla Barksdale and transition executive director Joe Madden to the effort. Her central commitment is explicit: "We will have a bipartisan transition and we will have a bipartisan administration and government in Texas."

Reporters press her on that choice, cooperation with outgoing Governor Greg Abbott and Boca Chica Beach. On contact with Abbott, she says: "I've had the one call, but our teams have been speaking." She also answers a question in Spanish about cooperation and the bipartisan government structure.

Across fifteen uploads, the station's Texas coverage has moved from election results toward practical questions. "What changes will Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa bring to Texas schools?" examines vouchers and state takeovers, and is also among the channel's strongest sources of viewing momentum. Melania Trump's remarks on the Oleshky ceasefire complete that group.

FOX 26 Houston added about 1.6 million views over the week, while subscribers held at 741,000. Daily viewing is above its usual level, though its weekly view gain sits toward the quieter end of this local-news group. WUSA9 had a particularly busy week. For FOX 26 Houston, the transition team and the future of Texas classrooms are giving the election aftermath its local focus.
