If I live in New Mexico but work in Texas, do I still have to pay New Mexico state taxes?

Yes, you do

IF TX taxed that income, it would still have to be included as NM income, but you would be able to take a credit for taxes paid to TX.....BUT since TX doesn't have an income tax, NM taxes it all.

This is not unusual. All income-taxing states operate their state taxes the same way

(except for a few "reciprocal tax states" which operate in a slightly different way)
