Final answer:
Texas has a reputation for being a "low service, high tax" state.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that Texas has a reputation for being a "low service, high tax" state is true.
Taxes of local and state governments are more closely connected to services provided. The local government depends mainly on property taxes, while most state governments implement state income taxes and rely heavily on sales tax collected during consumer activities. Texas is an example of a state that doesn't implement state income taxes.
Therefore, while Texas may have lower levels of government services, it typically has higher taxes compared to states that do not rely as heavily on sales and/or property taxes.
