Sam;

Steve, I won't pretend to know anything about the way Texas gets its revenue, but my guess is that the fact that they have a lot of oil is central to it, as it is with AK, another rugged individualist state that has no state income tax and gives tax rebates to its citizens.

We have no oil in Washington State - it works for us too as we get most revenue from sales tax. No income tax here either.
