Having lived in Texas for 20 years I find that hard to foresee as no state income tax is such an often used flex there but stranger shifts have happened.
I moved from an ostensibly low tax state, Texas, to one with an income tax but my overall burden for state costs is pretty much the same or slightly lower as property taxes are low and there is no sales tax (8%+ in Texas).
I was paying over $1500 month in property taxes in Houston burbs.
They’ll get you somehow!

Texas already has a homestead exemption.

It seems like the Texas Homestead Exemption Act is starting to morph into something analogous to Prop 13. Perhaps if there's enough growth in tech jobs (and more billionaires start hiding out there) they'll end up with an income tax like California and New York.
