Moved from CA to TX. CA state tax question.

The scenario is a little over halfway through the year we moved from California to Texas. I'm looking on the CA forms and I see calculations based on our total federal AGI. Why would CA have anything to do with our Texas earnings?

Out of curiosity I deleted the TX W2 and we went from owing CA $1,600 to getting a refund of $5,400 from CA. I ask again, why does our Texas income have anything to do with California?
