It is extremely unlikely that Texas would pass such a tax. They've swallowed the "no tax is good" kool-aide (tm).

Texas has some of the highest property taxes in the country.

interestingly enough I was at the county commissioners (I from this town) when this exact installation was originally debated precisely because the company was the recipent of a tax break and the court was doing its diligence on whether or not that was appropriate. I spoke against it at the time and am not surprised that other issues have come up since.
