I live in Texas where there are no state taxes but I won $1300 in Gambling in LA. The form W-2G I got from the Casino shows I paid 5% of my proceeds towards that state tax. Do I need to file a LA state return?

Yes, you are required to file an LA state return.

Gambling winnings earned in Louisiana is considered to be Louisiana sourced income. A nonresident who received gambling winnings from Louisiana sources and who is required to file a federal income tax return must file a Louisiana return reporting the Louisiana income earned. If the amount withheld is overpaid, a refund of the difference will be issued or credited to the tax liability for the following year, based upon the taxpayer's return.
