Nothing I'm aware of stops that.

In practice, at least from what I've read, in TX, the largest/wealthiest companies get the biggest/best tax breaks (eg Tesla), and end up paying proportionally less, so it's somewhat regressive.

In Texas, like Florida, you get a bill for all improvements within your neighborhood or development as they come. Just because the tax may appear low on the front end, that doesn’t mean you don’t pay for the same relative lifestyle as everybody else in the United States of America.

Even though all the states have their differences they all live relatively the same, in short, if you are an average person, you pay pretty much the same as any place else. It’s only the wealthy who get to hopscotch and dance over the top of all the bodies of the (working class) below.
