No Texas Estate Tax

Texas does not have a separate state estate tax. Only federal estate tax applies to Texas residents, and only for estates above the federal exemption threshold.

2026 Federal Exclusion

For deaths in 2026, the federal basic exclusion amount is $15 million per person. The 2025 amount was $13.99 million, so some estates that would have been taxable in 2025 are not taxable under current 2026 law.
