With a new Democratic governor preparing to take office in Texas, some residents are wondering whether the state could eventually impose an individual income tax.

The question comes after KPRC 2 reported on Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa's proposal to send $1,500 checks to Texas households using money from the state's Rainy Day Fund.

Some viewers responding to that story raised concerns about whether a change in political leadership could also mean changes to the state's tax policies.
