"If this money gets held up, it's very detrimental to what we're trying to do."

Here's an idea, why don't you have the government of Texas provide some service that generates revenue instead of extorting it further from your citizens and visitors.

Excellent point. But bureaucrats don’t think like business people so this will never happen. All they know is taxes.

They are worried about the money. Just what is it that they are ‘trying to do’?

“It’s expected to raise about $40 million to be dispersed for sexual assault prevention programs and health care for the uninsured.”

So how much gets dispersed, and how much goes into the states general kitty and used for other purposes?

Is it the same percentage that disappears into the general kitty taken in from gambling casinos? (The money goes to the schools.... yeah. Like %10 does.)
