Paperwork and rules for Texas businesses online
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
- Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
- 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 Oakwood, that means asking Leon County and the Town of Oakwood. Official source
