Original Note:
While Abbott is correct that Texas has a budget surplus, his insinuations are misleading & lack context that counters his thesis. TX receives ~$100B / year in welfare spending from the federal government, ~23% of the total state revenues. For comparison, CA only receives ~14%. https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-rely-the-most-on-federal-aid/
