How can Texas fund the state without charging state income tax?

Question

I get that many services you can obtain from other states doesn’t exist in Texas.

But still to fund the police, pave roads etc. can’t be cheap and can’t be all or even funded by feds.

Do they charge a high sales/corporate tax?

Income is not the only way states generate tax revenue. Texas has the [5th highest Property Tax](https://www.fool.com/research/property-tax-rates-by-state/) in the country and the [14th highest Sales Tax](https://taxfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/LOST_Feb24.png).
