Running a website from Beeville: the Texas rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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 Beeville, that means asking Bee County and the City of Beeville. Official source
• A business that holds sensitive personal information must notify the people affected by a breach and, when at least 250 Texas residents are involved, must also notify the Texas Attorney General within 60 days of determining that the breach happened. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.053
• 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
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Texas’ is $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; check with the Texas agencies, Bee County, the city of Beeville or an attorney.
