Tex. Government Code § 546.0554: INVALIDITY; FEDERAL MONEY.

If any portion of Section 546.0551, 546.0552, or 546.0553 is held invalid by a final order of a court that is not subject to appeal, or if the commission determines that the imposition of the quality assurance fee and the expenditure of the money collected as provided by those sections will not entitle this state to receive additional federal money under Medicaid, the commission shall:

(1) stop collecting the quality assurance fee; and

(2) not later than the 30th day after the date the commission stops collecting the quality assurance fee, return any money collected under Section 546.0551, but not spent under Section 546.0553, to the persons who paid the fees in proportion to the total amount paid by those persons.
