Annetta up close: notes for a small business website

Mining, oil and gas are a real industry here: 64 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, about seven times the national share. Field crews look for services from a phone, on short notice. Say clearly which areas and job sites you serve, your equipment and how to request work. All of this is written once and kept current, which is precisely what the monthly changes by email are for.

Parker County has 167 manufacturing establishments with employees, and manufacturing is the job of 16.9% of working residents in Annetta. Industrial work brings a B2B market: machine shops, welders, electricians, staffing firms, trucking and maintenance contractors that sell to plants rather than to households. Real photos of your shop and your work do more than stock images of handshakes.

Parker County has far more than the national share of oilfield and mining support companies: 51 of them in the 2023 count.

The county also has a strong cluster of farm and forestry support services (33 establishments, about seven times the national share). The jobs Annetta residents hold are mostly in education, health care and social assistance (28.3%) and manufacturing (16.9%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Annetta.

Texas and federal rules for small business websites

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 Annetta, that means asking Parker County and the Town of Annetta. 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
• A sole proprietor or general partnership that operates under a name other than the owner’s legal name files an assumed name certificate with the county clerk where the business premise is kept; a corporation or LLC that uses another name files its assumed name certificate with the Secretary of State. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• 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.
