Tissue paper can be used in toilets either after urination and stool. After using tissue paper (without using water) one can offer salah. But, if the impurity spreads on the area other than makhraj (anus) then using tissue paper only will not suffice and one has to use water as well. Yes, in case one does not find water to use then he can offer salah after using tissue paper:
ویوخذ منھا عدم الکراھۃ فیما لایصلح لھا (ای الکتابۃ) اذا کان قالعاً للنجاسۃ غیر متقوم، و قال ای یفرض غسلہ ان جاوز المخرج نجس مائع (الشامي: 1/550, 552)
