Rules that apply to an Iowa Colony business website

Some homework before launch:

• Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
• A sole proprietor or general partnership that operates under a name other than the owner’s legal name files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk where the business premise is kept; a corporation or LLC that uses another name files its assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• A business that holds sensitive personal information must notify the people affected by a breach and, when at least 250 Texas residents are involved, must also notify the Texas Attorney General within 60 days of determining that the breach happened. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) rarely reaches a local business: The chapter reaches a person who does business in Texas or sells products or services consumed by Texans, processes or sells personal data, and is NOT a small business under the United States Small Business Administration definition. A typical small business is therefore outside the main obligations, but Section 541.107 still applies to it: a small business may not sell sensitive personal data without the consumer’s prior consent. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 541 (HB 4, 88th Legislature, 2023)
• Brazoria County and the Village of Iowa Colony may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
