This story was updated Monday to clarify that GOP donor Gene Powell says he will proceed with a planned Trump fundraiser that he was scheduled to host.

WASHINGTON — The voice of the Republican nominee on the recording was loud and clear: "Grab them by the [expletive]" Donald Trump said. "You can do anything."

But in the 48 hours since that decade-old video has surfaced, the Texas delegation in Congress has largely been silent. The two members of the delegation who have called for Trump to step down – Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, and Rep. Will Hurd, R-San Antonio – both belong to the small minority within the Texas delegation that never supported Trump in the first place.

On Saturday and Sunday, Republicans across the country condemned Trump's language in his 2005 conversation with Billy Bush, then a reporter at Access Hollywood. In the conversation, which was originally reported by The Washington Post, Trump brags about pursuing a married woman and says he doesn't "even wait" before kissing women he finds beautiful — "when you're a star, they let you do it," he says.

In some cases, Republicans in competitive races — such as New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte — officially renounced their support for the nominee.

But of the 27 Texas Republicans in Congress, most of whom have supported Trump in some form or other, only Granger and Hurd have taken that step. Granger is the only woman in Texas' Republican delegation, while Hurd is in a tight race with Democrat Pete Gallego.

Sen. John Cornyn said in a tweet that he was "disgusted" by Trump's words but did not say whether he still planned to vote for Trump in November. Aides declined to comment.

Sen. Ted Cruz, who notably declined to endorse Trump at the Republican convention this summer — before changing his stance two weeks ago — took a similar approach, calling Trump's comments "disturbing and inappropriate."

“There is simply no excuse for them,” Cruz said. But he didn’t take back his endorsement.

On Saturday evening, Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted that Trump's rhetoric was "deeply disturbing," "an insult to all women" and "contrary to GOP values." He added that "absent true contrition, consequences will be dire," but did not elaborate on what those consequences might be.

Asked whether Abbott still planned to vote for Trump, an aide to the governor did not respond.

And Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, also condemned the comments without addressing his own role with the campaign. As part of Trump's national security advisory panel, McCaul had met with the candidate just hours before the tape was released.

"As the father of five children, including four daughters, I find Donald Trump's comments reprehensible and unacceptable," McCaul said in a written statement. "This is not an example we should set for our children, or an image we should project of our country."

But the overwhelming majority of the Texas delegation has declined to wade into the firestorm over Trump’s remarks.

Eight of the 25 House districts held by Republicans don't have a Democrat on the ballot in November. Because of the way House districts are drawn in Texas, even those Republicans who do face challengers aren't at serious risk of losing their seats.

Hurd, fighting in the one competitive House race, called on Trump to step aside, The El Paso Times reported Saturday. Previously, Hurd had declined to say whether he planned to vote for Trump.

"I cannot in good conscience support or vote for a man who degrades women, insults minorities and has no clear path to keep our country safe," Hurd told The Times. "He should step aside for a true conservative to beat Hillary Clinton."

Hurd's Democratic opponent, Pete Gallego, who formerly held the seat, had regularly slammed Hurd for his unwillingness to disavow the candidate. He did not stop after Saturday afternoon's announcement, needling Hurd for waiting until then to declare his opposition to Trump.

"Today, Mr. Hurd feels emboldened only because others - others with the courage to take a political risk and do the right thing - have paved the way for him to follow their example," Gallego said in a written statement. "Will Hurd is desperate, and his long silence can be neither forgotten nor forgiven."

Granger, who is in a safely red House district and who has held her seat since 1996, did not mince words when asking Trump to step down.

"We have heard rumors about the insensitive and vulgar things Mr. Trump says about women," Granger said in a statement to the Texas Tribune. "But watching that video is disgusting. Mr. Trump should remove himself from consideration as Commander in Chief."

By and large, members of the Texas delegation who had already backed Trump have so far stayed the course. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, was one of the few Trump supporters to issue a statement at all. He said he believed Trump's short apology, released Friday evening.

"I cannot condone nor defend these remarks," he said in a statement. "However, as Mr. Trump stated, this campaign has changed him as a candidate and a man."

"This election needs to be about which candidate will advance our conservative principles," he added. "Based on comments made by Hillary Clinton in paid speeches, there is no doubt Mr. Trump remains the best candidate for president."

Phillip Huffines, the recently elected Dallas County Republican Party chairman, also condemned Trump's comments. But he left his statement short of renouncing support for the candidate.

"Mr. Trump's words and actions are extremely offensive," he said. "Women and all people should be treated with the utmost dignity and respect. His comments are not reflective of the Republican Party or that of any gentleman. It is my hope that Mr. Trump will demonstrate stronger leadership in the future."

In Texas, a bigger problem for Trump may be hesitancy on the part of his deep-pocketed donors.

Gene Powell, a San Antonio real estate developer and former member of the University of Texas System board of regents, said Monday that he would follow through on plans to host a fundraiser for Trump in San Antonio on Tuesday, dismissing reports from campaign sources over the weekend that he was considering withdrawing from the event.

"I am deeply disappointed and offended by the comments made by Mr. Trump on the video released on Friday," Powell said in a written statement. "However, I made a commitment to the campaign and I have one obligation left to the campaign and that is a fundraising event tomorrow in San Antonio and I will fulfill that obligation as promised."

Powell has co-chaired Trump’s Texas finance team and co-hosted a country club fundraiser for him in June.

Trump is also still expected to attend a Dallas fundraiser on Tuesday. Before the latest uproar, organizers expected that event would rake in $3 million, shared between the campaign and the Republican National Committee. The San Antonio event was expected to raise about half that.

How Trump’s flagging prospects will affect his haul remains to be seen.
