Huh? Austin? "Real Texas"? The mayor is a flaming liberal, there are 10 members of the city council and only one is a Republican and she JUST took her position last month. A little difficult to blame someone who wasn't there for making budget decisions. Speaking of which...
Also, we all found out yesterday that the DoE and ERCOT were more concerned about air pollution than running all electricity generation stations at full power during a massive polar blast. So much so that they wouldn't even authorize it for a couple of days and actually CUT the amount of power instead of increasing it (that's a real "they did WHAT?!" moment that's going to require a real Texas reconning) That's part of the Green New Deal and thing is liberal...well, communist actually, I won't only blame liberals on that one.
As to the horrific response to this disaster:
The Governor declared a state of emergency within the first 24 hours. This declaration is supposed to get the feds involved via FEMA. There should have been at least a Title 32 activation of the National Guard to move resources into the hardest hit areas with the first 12 hours of the federal recognition of the declaration. Now, who stole their way to occupying congress and the White House? Yup. Not conservatives. There is a rumor in DC that Texas is "being punished" for questioning the election and spurring 18 other states to join in a lawsuit, but that'sa rumor. If true, it sounds like a normal liberal vendetta to me.
Soooooooo as to your assertion...no. It was liberals that fucked this up.

Don't see any snowplows or de-icing equipment.
