What Texas asks of a business with a website
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Texas rules as any other.
- 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
- Local business tax receipts in Texas can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Nolan County and Blackwell. 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
