Since there's no state income tax, just use the money you of course saved.

While there is no income tax, property taxes are typically the way Texas makes up for that revenue and are higher than other states (9th highest). Which is why places like Houston have been irresponsibly developed into floodplains.

That’s why states with no income tax are a scam. Ditto Florida. Not to mention the dearth of social services.
