Really? Is paying your fair share of taxes really worth leaving an entire State? Amazon will have to let go all the people employed there.
Amazon is amassing incredible profits and wealth and is partly to blame for Borders is out of business.
Perhaps TX should forbid Amazon from doing business in TX and allow a new small player to fill the space
Amazon to Texas: Adios

Amazon the internet behemoth is mad as a hornet at Texas. In fact, the company is so mad it closing its distribution center in Dallas. The company informed its employees that it is leaving because Texas is not treating them so nice. You see, Texas has billed Amazon $269 million for sales taxes the company never collected on sales in the state. Amazon says it has no physical presence in the state and thus is under no obligation to play tax collector. In fact, Amazon is so irate it is closing its nonexistent physical presence in Dallas to show Texas that it will not be pushed around.
Moreover, Amazon said it was “previously planning to build additional facilities and expand in Texas bringing in more than 1,000 new jobs and tens of millions of investment dollars to the state… We regret the need to reverse course.” Basically, the company is saying "we were going to do more in Texas -- although we really are not there but we changed our mind. I say: good for Texas.
