Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Baird businesses:
- Check with both Callahan County and the City of Baird about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
- 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
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Texas agencies, Callahan County, the city of Baird or an attorney.
