golferced, I think this may help.
GC §411.172. ELIGIBILITY.  (a)  A  person  is  eligible  for  a  license  to carry a concealed handgun if the person: .......
(10) has  not  been  finally  determined  to  be  delinquent  in  making  a child support payment administered or collected by the attorney general; 
(11) has not been finally determined to be delinquent in the payment of  a t ax  or  other  money  collected  by  the  comptroller,  the  tax  collector  of  a political subdivision of the state, or any agency or subdivision of the state; 
By my understanding only state taxes, penalties or fees count. But I can promise you that if the Fed/Gov. passes a national reciprocity law it will most certainly include federal taxes as a condition to keep your government permission to carry. Maybe not at first, but eventually it will. You can take that to the bank!
Anyone that doubts this need look no further than the state law.
