The Texas Legislature has successfully passed a comprehensive $338 billion spending plan aimed at addressing various key issues, including property tax relief and funding for educational and healthcare projects. Notably, the budget includes a significant $65 million boost for a cancer center in El Paso, and allocates over $180 million for health and education initiatives in the region. Despite some lawmakers expressing regrets over missed opportunities, the budget is viewed as a significant step forward as the session comes to a close. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other officials have lauded the plan, which also addresses crime victim compensation and cybersecurity among other vital state needs.
