Paperwork and rules for Texas businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed name certificate (DBA). Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 71
• 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 Brenham, that means asking Washington County and the City of Brenham. 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
