I am a Texas resident, I hold a Texas drivers licence, the company I work for is based in Texas, but most of my work is away from home. Currently I have done much of my work in LA and the company has been deducting LA state tax from my check, whereas in Texas there is NO state tax! Is this correct?
Help Please!

Yes, it is correct!

Since the time the states started using state income taxes as a means of raising revenue, they have held (and the courts have upheld this view) that ANY income earned within their state borders is subject to that state's income tax.
