If your W-2 has information reported in box 16 for state income, then you should include something in boxes 14 and 15. If your state is Texas, then box 17 should be blank or zero.
Enter TX for box 14, and you can enter anything in box 15 to clear the warning message. Something like '1234' would suffice. Without tax withholdings, the employer's state ID number is not really needed or applicable.
