State Taxes in Texas Better Than Most | Taxes BlogShots
State exemptions are promulgated by the constitution and statutes of each state to allow each resident citizen of that state to keep certain assets for themselves, notwithstanding that citizen may have a money judgment against him or her. Each state has its own set of exemptions. Some states are much more generous than others. It is important to note that exemptions do not apply to businesses; they only are available to human beings.
Texas has probably the best state exemptions over any other state. Some say Florida and Nevada have the best. It all depends on what kind of assets you own and whether Texas, Florida, Nevada or your state of residence exempts them and how much in value can be exempted. State exemptions are only applicable to you for the state in which you maintain your principal residence or legally have your domicile.
