TXS3 - TextureSet3 
  Applies to: GT5, GTPSP, GT6, GT Sport, GT7  ·   Extension: .img, .txs, .tex, none   · Endian: Platform Dependent
TXS3 is an evolution of the Tex1  format that GT3 and GT4 uses. It now allows being linked to a "streaming" texture file, which holds compressed textures to be streamed - mostly used for courses.
The 3 in TextureSet3 represents PS3 .
 
Converting from/to TXS3 
Refer to Image Editing  .
 
The header may be present in all sorts of files like models.
Note that the header varies between PS3-era Gran Turismos and PS4-era, pointers are 64 bit instead of 32 bit.

These represent a texture in a streamed file, which may host multiple mipmaps for each texture. They are compressed using the inflate algorithm.
Example
sky/sky.tex streams textures from sky/sky.texstream. Course file packs may also link to a .texstream file.
