There is no state income tax in Texas. As such, the majority of the tax structure is based on sales tax and property tax, in addition to consumption taxes such as gasoline. Property tax is calculated by multiplying a property's value by the sum of the tax rates of the individual taxing entities applied to that particular property, such as the city, county, and school district.
