Are you confused about what year you are asking about? Why are you talking about an amended W-2? Are you really asking about 2024? No one has received a 2025 W-2 yet.
If you relocated from KY to TX in 2025, the tax withheld for KY will not appear on a W-2 until you receive your 2025 W-2 in early 2026 from the employer, so that you can prepare a part-year state return for KY for tax year 2025. And...if he began working and living in TX in May, that is when he ceased to be a resident of KY. Owning a house in TX is not the criteria---living and working in TX is what matters -- whether he lived in a hotel or a home you purchased.
