In Coryell County, the Census counted 808 businesses with employees and 4,170 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Coryell County has 1.9 times the national share of repair and maintenance shops: 42 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, customers search in a hurry when something breaks, so the website should show what you repair, brands you work on, hours and a contact form.

What Texas asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• 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 Oglesby, that means asking Coryell County and the City of Oglesby. Official source
• 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)
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
