After every regular session of the Texas Legislature - the entity responsible for approving state spending - the Legislative Budget Board publishes a document outlining that spending, as well as the source of the revenues for the fiscal year.
This is a good way to get up to date with the level of spending on each of the major policy categories in Texas, especially the ones related to the story about Covid19 in the prisons.
Page 14 of the document above lists the major areas of spending, and might be worth a look.

For note, note that about $12 billion dollars is spent on public safety out of a $216 billion budget.
