Here is what I have done for the past 2 years:
My employer is from California, I work for client in Delaware and my wife goes to school and works in Oklahoma. I use Delaware address for all purpose, while my wife uses Oklahoma address.
We file Married - Joint return with Delaware as the state of residency (permanent residence). I have to file for Oklahoma as my wife earned income in that state. Does not matter where your employer is registered, it only matters what states did you and/or your spouse earn income from. So I file state returns for Delaware and Oklahoma.
Since Texas has no State income tax, you may be well off by claiming residency in TX. Even though you have NY address, you spent more than 180 days in TX (depends on state for residency rules) you may have to claim TX as your residency state, but that would be a question for a Tax Professional.
Try out with online tax prep sites like: Turbotax, TaxAct, TaxSlayer, HRBlock etc to get a better idea. They will guide you step-by-step. You can pick the paid/deluxe version on one of them as you only pay when you file, and the intent is to just check not file here.
Good Luck.
