On Wednesday’s edition of Houston Matters: Harris County medical officials have confirmed a Kingwood woman's death is tied to bacteria linked to Harvey floodwaters. While it's a rare case stemming from the storm, officials say other health concerns still remain — even a month after the storm. We find out what they are from a pair of Greater Houston public health experts.

Also this hour: It's time again for the Houston Matters weekly political roundup with analysis of national, state, and local political stories — with an eye to how it all might affect Houston and Texas. Plus, we meet a Houston actor and director who brings theater to Texas prisons. And journalist and Houston-native Lenora Chu talks about her book, Little Soldiers, which chronicles her son’s immersion into the intense world of the Chinese public school system.
