Let's say....$3.25 per $1000. There are LOTS of places in Texas to pay more, but that might be a decent average for a suburban house in one of the 5 or 6 largest cities in Texas.
That's about $80,000 a year in property tax...over $6,500 per MONTH. That would put a world of hurt on me, but it's chump change to Rush. I bet he pays way, WAY more than that in New York State income taxes right now, and he really doesn't even live there.
In Austin or San Antonio, he could play golf virtually year round, as in Florida, and enjoy some fabulous Mexican food, too!

Good Lord!
I pay somewhere between $25 and $30 per thousand here in NY.
