Unlike your state of California, Texas passed a balanced budget, did not raise taxes and has a $3Billion rainy day fund.
Business are flocking to Texas, as are people to work for them (quite a few from California, I would guess).
Texas does not have state income tax like your state of California (which is broke, raised taxes and passed a budget, where if those phantom new revenues ($$$$$ Gov Brown dreams will be squeezed from a bloodless turnip) don't magically appear is going deeper into the dumper.
Even though Texas relies on property taxes (took a huge hit due to Democrat schemes in the mortgage industry, Fannie Mae, etc) we still have a healthy, growing economy and can pay our bills.
