Texas is one of the biggest import, transport, distribution, and banking markets for Marijuana in the world. Politicians have been in the pockets of organized crime in Texas dating back to Prohibition.
Texas already started passing dry County laws with the county option in the 1870s, so by the time Prohibition came along, there was already a network of rum-runners. Mexico was wet, so Texas became a huge importation market during Prohibition, while all the legitimate breweries were forced out of business.
This created a massive shift in revenue to organized crime, who could then buy whatever Sheriffs, judges, mayors, Congressmen, and Senators they wanted.
Once Prohibition ended, the Syndicates were already entrenched and continued expanding with night clubs, prostitution, rackets, gambling, electioneering, arms smuggling, and narcotics.
