Here's a news release from TxDOT. It looks like the state will construct the DART extension to Love, not the Feds...
Strangely enough, TxDOT still considers Fort Worth as a separate metro... as if the DFW traffic patterns were not interlocked and interdependent.

The Texas Metropolitan Mobility Plan Project Acceleration
Thanks to the governor, state legislators, local officials and Texas voters, funds to fight urban congestion in our eight largest metropolitan areas will more than double during the next 12 years (2004-2015). As a result, nearly 90 percent of the metropolitan mobility projects planned for the next 12 years can begin in half the time.
Using just traditional transportation funding based on gas taxes and vehicle registrations, funds to reduce urban congestion would have been limited to $6.8 billion for the 12 year period. But through financial options and innovations provided by the governor and legislature, which are being implemented by local officials and the Texas Transportation Commission, mobility funding for the state's largest cities will top $15.4 billion.
Below are brief descriptions of some of the mobility projects in the 2005 Statewide Mobility Program. The total dollars for each metropolitan area represent all mobility dollars, including traditional funding and new funding sources such as the Texas Mobility Fund and Proposition 14 bonds.
