State tax filing

That's true only if your income is evenly spread throughout the year.
Once you become a Maine resident, all your income from that date forward is taxable by Maine. For example, if you earn 30% of your income after becoming a Maine resident, then that 30% is taxable by Maine - even if you were a Maine resident only12.3% of the year.
I slightly mis-read the link above. It looked like Maine wanted to pro-rate some income but I mis-read it.
Income paid after the date you establish your Maine residence is Maine income. You may need to manually make adjustments in Turbotax. For example, if you made a withdrawal from an IRA, the 1099-R will only show the total for the year, it won't know how much you withdrew while living in Texas and how much in Maine, you will have to make that allocation on the tax return yourself.
