I don't know what taxes are in Texas but I doubt they're lower than California. Because of Prop 13 California has extremely low taxes. Warren Buffett for instance pays more taxes on his $500,000 home in Nebraska than he does on his $4,000,000 home in California.

California is notorious for its high income tax: "9.3 percent on taxable income of $47,056 and above".

I think the relevant statistic would be tax burden per capita:

Texas is around half of CA.
