I was a Texas resident for many years. Texas does not have a state income tax.
However, you mentioned you just moved there so you will be required to pay state tax to the state you just moved from if you worked while you were living there.
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming, New Hampshire and Tennessee do not have state taxes.

No, we have no state income tax. The state, city, county and schools all receive their funding through property taxes here. That's why the property taxes here seem so high to everyone moving here.
Also, since property taxes are so high here, that's why a mortgage payment for a certain price home in Texas is higher than a mortgage payment in another state for a similarly priced home. (the escrow is so much higher)

Texas doesn't have a state income tax, at least didn't back in 1999

If you work outside of Texas, ie Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico... you will have to pay taxes in those states even if you do live in Texas.

There is no state income tax in Texas. As long as you have no income from other states, there is no return to file.

Texas does not have a state income tax. Congratulations!
Texas DOES have taxes, just not an income tax.
