Texas has no personal income tax — the Texas Constitution (Art. 8, §24-a) bars one, so no state tax is withheld from wages.
You still owe federal income tax and FICA. Texans pay for public services mainly through property and sales taxes, which are above the national average.

No. Texas does not tax wages or salaries, so only federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) apply.
A single filer with $75,000 of wages owes about $7,670 in federal income tax for 2026, plus $5,738 in Social Security and Medicare — 17.9% in total.
Federal income tax withholding and FICA come out of every paycheck in every state. Use the paycheck calculator for per-paycheck amounts.
