A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.

Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Texas’ is $500,000 or more in total Texas revenue in the preceding twelve calendar months (sellers below that stay inside the safe harbor). 34 Tex. Admin. Code Section 3.286
• 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
