Question

If I live in Texas and work remotely for a company in California, do I need to pay taxes in California? Box 15 on my w2 says TX.

No, if you are performing the work in Texas and you live in Texas, then you are not liable for California taxes.  The only situation in that scenario where you would need to file is if CA taxes were withheld from your check while you were working in Texas.  

Here are some more descriptive explanations of your scenario:

    Is this also the same as living in FL and working remotely with a company in CA?
