Just because the company was based in KY doesn't mean you are subject to KY taxes.

As a general rule, you are subject to tax in your state of residence (none in TX) and wherever else you physically performed the work. If you were "based" in TX, even with overnight stays elsewhere, you wouldn't have to file a KY tax return.
