It sounds like you live and work in Indiana.   Your  drivers license is not relevant to that.  You will file a federal and an IN tax return.   If you have moved permanently to IN, you might need to see about getting an IN drivers license.

The Texas drivers license is not the determinant factor.  Were you a full-year resident of Indiana or a part-year resident of Indiana?  Are you a member of the military?

 

See IT-40 tax booklet here.  Page 6 of the 2023 IT-40 Individual Income Tax Booklet states:

 

You are a full-year Indiana resident if you maintain your legal residence in Indiana from Jan. 1 – Dec. 31 of the tax year. You do not have to be physically present in Indiana the entire year to be considered a full-year resident. Residents, including military personnel, who leave Indiana for a temporary stay, are considered residents during their absence.

 

It also states:

 

If you were a part-year resident and received income while you lived in Indiana, you must file Indiana Form IT-40PNR, Part-Year Resident or Nonresident Individual Income Tax Return. If you were a legal resident of another state and had income from Indiana, you must file Form IT-40PNR.

Based on the info provided ("I....live and work in Indiana"), you are a full year IN resident and should file an IN resident return.  "I have a Texas drivers license"  doesn't change that answer.

 

If you have more info, the answer might change. But, there is no scenario where you are not subject to IN income tax and do no have to file an IN tax return.  The only question is whether you file as a resident, non resident or part year resident.
