If you did not live or physically work in CA as an employee then the wages are not taxable to CA.
However, if your domicile is still in CA, and you are in TX for a "temporary or transient purpose", your income would still be taxable by CA.
See page 10 of this reference for CA's definition of "domicile": https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2019/2019-1031-publication.pdf
See page 6 of the same reference ("Leaving California") for CA's rules on temporary absences from the state.
