I know it sounds pretty heartless, but why should a Federal relief program step in to help any industry or local government organization that doesn't meet or has refused to follow federal government guidelines? Texas did this disaster too themselves, nobody else did! Yes, we should always help out our citizens, but in the case where they have been caught up in a lack of local government failure and are the victims of such, any and all expenditure by the Federals government to rescue them should then be charged back to the State and County of which the failure of proper governance occurred.
There should be Federal oversight to protect any American family, no matter where they live or what state they move to. I don't believe there are any signs on any highway driving into Texas that outlines the fact that they have no regulations to protect homeowners or visitors. Perhaps there should be one that reads:
