Does my boss HAVE to pay overtime?

Started at a new place, opened two weeks ago. First job I LOVE, we’re super short on staff and my boss is having all of us work 40 hrs a week max, she can’t pay overtime since everyone started at 15/hr plus generous tips and we’re not selling nearly enough product a day. Would rather be there than at home, and I’m the only employee with full availability, is it legal to work overtime without over time pay? I live in Texas if that helps. I doubt it since that means it could be abused. I’m not worried about my boss burning me out because she’s been very gracious so far. Thanks for reading and sorry for the silly question..
