 Texas Governor Rick Perry - Trans Texas Corridor Fact Sheet
Additionally, state law requires that any development on corridor land such as a gas station, utility or railroad is subject to local property taxes, even though it is on state right of way.
The state has an obligation to make the best deal it can for corridor financing regardless of the address of the bidders, and the fact is private investors are willing to invest billions of dollars in Texas infrastructure that will create thousands of jobs for Texans.
It also requires the state to work with local officials and study traffic volume, circuity of travel for landowners, and access for emergency vehicles when determining which farm-to-market roads, ranch-to-market roads, county roads, and city arterials to connect to the corridor.

 Texas Politics - Bureaucracy
The flow of federal dollars to the states and localities is not determined solely by what the federal government wants, as if it were some sort of independent actor whose goals are determined in isolation from national and state-level politics.
When they reach the states, such allocations become known as dedicated funds when they are incorporated into state budgets (much like that portion of Texas gasoline taxes dedicated to highway construction).
As a result, state and local bureaucracies develop in ways that would not be possible without federal money – but the impetus for such development often comes from the states themselves.
