Why did the state of texas do little to help its citizens during the great depression

The Great Depression brought Texas trials. By 1931, more than 18,000 Dallas residents were unemployed. In Dallas, there was a work-for-food program that helped many. Interestingly, even during the closure of banks, many businesses continued to function. The main reason that Dallas during the Great Depression did not suffer to the same extent as other cities in America, was the discovery of oil here. Although geared to one crop—"Cotton is King"—the economy was somewhat diversified. In fact, Texans prided themselves on their situation, in being the largest state—really more spacious in area than any western European nation—and in maintaining the American frontiers of rugged individualism, fierce competitiveness, and unblushing patriotism.
