Answer: Causes tax revenues and unemployment.

Step-by-step explanation:

"When oil production slows in Texas, employment and tax revenues decline, and budget cuts at the state and local levels often follow. (Craymer has estimated that the state loses $85 million per year for every $1 decrease in oil prices.)"
