A Texas gubernatorial candidate has proposed a refund for state residents. Gina Hinojosa suggests that Texans should receive $1,500 payments.

The funds for these payments would come from the state's surplus, according to the proposal. This surplus is valued in the multibillions of dollars.

Further information on this proposal is available from FOX 26 Houston, including details on the candidate's plan to use the state's reserve funds for the payments.
