No one can tell you if you will get a refund of the $3K that was withheld from your CA paychecks; we cannot see any of your other information. You lived and received income in the state of CA during 2024, so you will have to file a 2024 CA return and include all of the income received that was CA-sourced. Texas has no state income tax, so you will not have anything to prepare for the state of TX.
