The Texas Legislative Budget Board (LBB) - there are 5 members of the house and 5 for the senate that serve on the LBB. This includes the Speaker and the Lieutenant Governor (who is the presiding officer of the Senate). They each serve for 2 year terms, except the Lieutenant Governor, who serves for 4 years. The LBB's primary responsibility is to create the initial bienniel budget that Congress then debates, ammends, and enacts. They also meet while Congress is out of session and share "budget execution authority" with the governor. This means that they get to move money around, regardless of what allocations were set in the biennial budget. The justification for the LBB having this authority is that, in the case of an emergency or any other new development, Congress cannot address budget issues while out of session unless a special session is called. Calling a special session every time something new comes up in a period of about a year and half would be inefficient. However, it should be noted that the LBB is a board that was formed by Congress and is made up of Congress members. This means that they only have budget execution authority because Congress allows them to, and that Congress can absolve the LBB at any time if they want to.
