So, I would assume, this all came out of Texas taxpayer pockets?

I think a nativity with the founders as the wise men giving gifts would be kinda meaningful if was the patriotic type. Yes I know this one didn't have the Nativity but you could work the sentiment into a standard nativity if you wanted. Lord knows the Wise men have been portrayed as meaning a lot of things over the years in Art.

Largest Texas Newspaper Accuses Greg Abbott of 'Beyond Reckless' Behavior

https://www.newsweek.com/houston-chroni ... as-1950355
The Houston Chronicle lambasted Texas Governor Greg Abbott in a recent editorial for what it calls "beyond reckless" rhetoric surrounding election integrity.

The newspaper, the largest in the Lone Star State by circulation, accused the governor of deliberately stoking unfounded fears about the security of the state's electoral process.

The Houston Chronicle's editorial board, in a Wednesday op-ed entitled, "Texas' voter roll purge is routine practice. So why is Greg Abbott crying voter fraud?" took direct aim at Abbott's August announcement that over 1.1 million people have been removed from Texas voter rolls since September 2021.

This purge, which Abbott framed as an effort to protect elections from illegal voting, includes individuals who have moved out of state, are deceased, or are not U.S. citizens.

"The timing of these actions appears to have a clear intent: to sow confusion, scare people from voting and suppress turnout," the editorial states, which characterizes the governor's claims as part of a "rhetorical pattern" that has "played out too often—with no substantial evidence of a large-scale problem."
