No state income tax — how Texas generates revenue
States without an income tax must fund government services through alternative means. Texas typically relies on sales taxes, excise taxes, and in some cases natural resource revenues. Understanding your overall tax picture in Texas means looking at sales taxes and property taxes, not just income taxes.
