Good! Just as long as the company that is paying you is not a subsidiary incorporated in NYS, then you are OK.
Yes, to living in NYC prior to 2020.
Did you "move" to Texas? That is, did you relocate in the sense that you got a Texas drivers license, registered to vote in Texas, own property/signed a lease in Texas, have your mail sent to Texas?
I ask because most states consider you a resident until you have changed your Domicile to another state, and you do that by doing a lot of the things I just listed.
I will note that New York State will consider you a resident for tax purposes if
- you maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for substantially all of the taxable year; and
- you spend 184 days or more in New York State during the taxable year. Any part of a day is a day for this purpose, and you do not need to be present at the permanent place of abode for the day to count as a day in New York.
See this New York webpage.
So, did you keep your place in New York when you left for Texas, and were you in New York for 184 or more days in 2020?
If yes, then you file as a resident; if not (as I suspect), you file as a nonresident.
