Possible Texas mental health cuts raise concern after Arizona shooting

Texas already ranks 49th in the nation in spending on mental health care and now faces steep cuts because of a budget shortfall of up to $27 billion. The potential reductions come at a time of heightened concern about the mental health system nationwide after the shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz., where six people were killed and 13 injured. The man accused in the attack had a history of erratic behavior and had been asked to get a mental health evaluation.
