What's different in Texas
Texas has no state income tax, but property tax rates are among the higher ones in the country, and newer subdivisions often add MUD or PID assessments — all of which count toward your monthly debt-to-income ratio. Texas also offers a homestead exemption on your primary residence once you own it.
