First, the income earned in Texas before you married is not taxable in any other state.

What is your husbands state of legal residence (Home of record)? You can select to use the same state as your husband once you got married for tax purposes. Then any income earned in the state your are stationed in will be taxable in your husbands state of legal residence (unless that state does not have income tax).

Or if you are working in California you can choose to claim your income there. But usually it will be easier to claim your husbands state of legal residence since you will have to file only one state return.

Please see Military Spouses and State Taxes for additional information.
