Weather in Tioga: plan the website around it

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Gainesville weather station (15 miles from Tioga), August highs average 94°F and January lows average 32°F. Precipitation totals about 43 inches a year, with May the wettest month. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 82 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 50 days. Long, hot summers mean steady work for AC repair, pool care and pest control, and customers search urgently when something breaks. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

Businesses in and around Tioga

The Census counted 47 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 76271, which includes Tioga and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• Quick-service restaurants, 4 in the count. What works online: today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
• Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors, 3 in the count. What works online: the services you offer, the towns you cover and a form for service calls that lands in your email.

In Grayson County, the Census counted 2,899 businesses with employees and 13,153 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 47 building material and garden stores operate in Grayson County, 1.9 times what the national mix would predict.

Before you publish: Texas and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• 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
• Texas has no state-level general license, but city and county permits still apply, so check the local county and city government where the business operates. In Tioga, that means asking Grayson County and the Town of Tioga. Official source
