I live in TX also, and electing Wendy is absolutely top priority. The alternatives are disastrous.

I'm also a disability attorney, and I have to refer people to free/income-based clinics and ways to pay for drugs or treatment all the time. Here are the links I use for anyone who needs these things (TX or elsewhere):
