Health insurance in Texas for low income families?

My dad recently lost his job, but has an existing medical condition, an ex-wife, and 5 kids to support. I don't know much about the health insurance options in Texas, but I'm looking for a program that will allow my family to be insured for cheap... something like Arizona's AHCCCS health insurance for low income people

1. It's called Medicaid - welfare health insurance. Arizona's plan that you're talking about, is also welfare health insurance.
2. Texas Medicaid (http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/Medicaid/index.html), if you qualify. If not, then Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) (http://www.chipmedicaid.org/) for the kids, and nothing cheap for the adults.
3. Texas also has a high risk medical pool. http://www.txhealthpool.org/
