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.
