Paperwork and rules for Texas businesses online
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Alba businesses:
- 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 Alba, that means asking Wood County and the Town of Alba. 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
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Texas sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $500,000 or more in total Texas revenue in the preceding twelve calendar months (sellers below that stay inside the safe harbor). 34 Tex. Admin. Code Section 3.286
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
