How do I get mental health assistance in Texas when I can't get a DR?
I've been to the Emergency room to see a doctor for seeing weird things and hearing voices. The doctor I went diagnosed me with psychosis nos and said I had anxiety. I've paid for & tried medicine that doesn't work. My bill is over $1,000 and I can't afford to go to the doctor or pay for the medicine. How do I get help paying for a doctor and medicine?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
A hospital emergency room is the worst place you can go for mental health issues. On issues of mental health there concern mainly is to decide if you are a danger to yourself or anyone else. If you are not believed to be a danger to yourself or anyone else they treat you and street you.
I will assume you do not have private insurance and you did not sign up for Obama care when registration was available. Texas being a Republican dominated state probably made it hard to do so as the only way to sign up would have been through the federal site which we all know had it's problems.
I have reason to believe you are younger than 65 which would leave the only medical assistance available to you would be the Texas Medicaid system. Contact your County Department of Mental Health or Department of Health and Human Services for assistance in getting coverage under Medicaid. Then go to the website I have included below for Magellan Health Services.
Magellan Health Services is the largest provider of mental health providers in the country. From their provider list you should be able to find a psychiatrist who will treat you close to where you live and accept Medicaid patients.
