Rules that apply to a Forsan business website

These are some of the Texas and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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 Forsan, that means asking Howard County and the City of Forsan. 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
