Even if they withheld his income tax in Utah because his employer didn't change
his work location, he could file for a refund in Utah. He doesn't owe income tax in Utah if he is working in Texas.

it's often dispositive. It absolutely matters.

No, it shouldn't matter in terms of where you income is taxed.
